ADD PETROL
Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded petrol. Do not mix oil with petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use petrol near an open flame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methane can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
START THE ENGINE
To start the engine, first check that the spark plug is tightened and that the machine is filled with sufficient
oil and petrol.
NOTE: Due to the protective coating on the engine, a small amount of smoke may be present during the
first use of the product and should be considered normal.
Press the primer bulb 3 times to allow fuel into the engine (for the first use, press 5 times).
Hold the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pull starter handle quickly.
Hold the starter handle as the rope retracts back into the mower do not allow the rope to snap back.
NOTE: In cold conditions it may be necessary to repeat priming steps.
STOP THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, release the operator presence control bar.
WARNING! The blade may continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug cap if the lawnmower is to be left unattended.
MOWING TIPS
Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to
reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings.
It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawnmower over the area a second
time.
For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping the previously cut path and mow
slowly.
