OPERATION
Model HRX217HMA:
Manual start
Turn the engine switch ON. The
engine switch must be in the ON
position to start the engine with the
recoil starter.
Place your foot on the mower deck
step. Pull the starter grip lightly
until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly. Return the starter grip
gently.
4. If the CHOKE position was
used during starting, move the
throttle lever away from the
CHOKE position as soon as
the engine warms up enough
to run smoothly without using
the choke. Set the throttle
lever at FAST to mow or at
SLOW to idle.
