OPERATING THE MOWER
Controls
Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables
move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers
return freely to their rest position when released.
Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance
should be felt when moving the lever to the 'choke' position.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the cable the Variable speed
Control should only be operated whilst the engine is running.
Starting - Step 1
Move the throttle control lever to the 'choke' position before
starting a cold engine. Move the throttle control lever to the 'fast'
position before starting a warm engine.
Step 2
Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the
engine stop lever with your left hand. With your right hand hold the
engine start - grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to crank the engine. Carefully return the start grip to the stor-
age position when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after 5 attempts - refer to "Trouble
Shooting".
The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to
start and keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is
released the engine will stop.
Step 3
Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the
'fast' position after starting a cold engine.
To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the
engine is running.
