STARTING OR STOPPING THE MOWER
See figure 5.
WARNING
Never start or run the engine inside a closed or poorly
ventilated area; breathing exhaust fumes can kill.
NOTE: The engine is provided with a shut-off valve. Turn
the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
Starting the engine
1. Open the fuel valve.
2. Set the variable throttle lever to the fastest speed.
3. Press the primer bulb 3 times.
NOTE: This step is not usually necessary when starting
an engine that has already run for a few minutes.
4. Hold the power lever bar down against the handle.
5. Pull the starter grip until the engine starts. Release the
starter cord slowly so the rope does not snap back.
NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat the priming steps
in cooler weather. In warmer weather, overpriming may
cause flooding and the engine will not start. If you do
flood the engine, wait a few minutes before attempting
to start and do not repeat priming steps.
Stopping the engine
1. Release the power lever and allow the engine to come
to a complete stop.
2. Close the fuel valve.

be set in the fastest speed when starting the mower and
when cutting grass.

The variable throttle lever will not stop the engine. The
power lever on the handle must be released to stop the
engine.
USING THE VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
See figure 20.
■
The variable transmission lever on the handle allows
the user to set variations in the transmission speed.
