OPERATING THE MOWER

Electric Start

(Electric start Only)
Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the
engine stop lever. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direction and
hold in position to crank the engine. When the engine starts release
the key and move the throttle to the fast position after starting a cold
engine.
Note: Cranking the engine for more than 15 seconds in any one minute
can damage the starter motor.
If necessary the engine can be started manually without using the igni-
tion switch.
To prevent engine damage do not operate the ignition key when
the engine is running.

Forward Travel

Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive clutch lever to power
the mower in a forward direction.
When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower may be
pushed. This feature is useful when mowing in confined areas.
(561 Only) - Ground speed may be adjusted by operating the speed vari-
ator control. Push forward to slow down and pull back to speed up
If the engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.

Turning

To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direc-
tion required.
To make a tight turn release the ground drive clutch lever, apply down-
ward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front wheels just above
ground level and steer in the required direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower exces-
sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower
when the engine is running.

Stopping

Release the ground drive clutch lever, reduce the throttle setting and
release the engine stop lever.
Emergency stop: Release both ground drive clutch lever and engine
stop lever together.
If the engine fails to stop, move the throttle lever to the 'slow' posi-
tion and disconnect the spark plug lead.
