Operation

Starting Engine
WARNING:
Be sure no one other than the operator
is standing near the lawn mower while starting
engine or operating mower. Never run engine
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and
loose clothing away from any moving parts on
engine and lawn mower.
Refer to Engine Operator's Manual for help with the engine.
1. Push the primer three times. See Figure 5-1. Do not prime
to restart a warm engine.
NOTE: If you push the primer too many times, excessive
fuel will flood the engine and it will be difficult to start.
2. Standing behind the mower, squeeze the blade control
against upper handle.
3. Holding these two handles together firmly, grasp recoil
starter handle and pull rope out with a rapid, continuous,
full arm stroke. See Figure 5-1. Keeping a firm grip on the
starter handle, let the rope rewind slowly. Repeat until
engine cranks. Let the rope rewind each time slowly.
Stopping Engine
1. Release blade control to stop the engine and blade.
WARNING:
Wait for the blade to stop completely
before performing any work on the mower or to
remove the mulching baffle.
Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects
which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could
be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.

The operation of any lawn mower can
result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear

If you strike a foreign object, stop the
engine. Remove wire from the spark plug,
thoroughly inspect mower for any damage, and
repair damage before restarting and operating.
