Using the Self-Propel Drive

To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk with your
hands on the upper handle and your elbows at your
sides, and the machine will automatically keep pace
with you (Figure 17).
Note:
If the machine does not freely roll backward
after self-propelling, stop walking, hold your hands
in place, and allow the machine to roll a couple of
centimeters (inches) forward to disengage the wheel
drive. You can also try reaching just under the upper
handle to the metal handle and pushing the machine
forward a couple of centimeters (inches). If the
machine still does not roll backward easily, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.

Shutting Off the Engine

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Ensure
that the engine shuts off within
3 seconds after releasing the
blade-control bar.
To shut off the engine, release the blade-control bar.
Note:
Remove the electric-start button whenever you
leave the machine.
Important:
When you release the blade-control
bar, the engine should shut off and the blade
should stop within 3 seconds. If they do not, stop
using your machine immediately and contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
