NOTE:
Due to protective
coatings
on the
engine,
a small amount
of smoke
may be
present
during
the initial use of the prod-
uct and should
be considered
normal.
1.
Be sure fuel valve is in the ON position.
2.
To start a cold engine,
move handle
mounted
throttle/choke
control
lever to
CHOKE
position.
3.
Pull starter
handle
quickly.
Do not allow
starter
rope to snap back.
4.
Slowly
move throttle
control
lever to
FAST position
after engine
starts.
• To start a warm engine,
move throttle
control
lever to FAST position,
then fol-
low steps
above.
NOTE:
Allow
a cold engine
to warm up for
one minute
before
starting
the blade.

MOWING
TIPS
A CAUTION:
Do not use de-thatcher
blade attachments
on your mower.
Such
attachments
are hazardous,
will damage
your mower
and could void your warranty.
• 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
mower
over the area a second
time.
• For extremely
heavy cutting,
reduce
the
width of cut by overlapping
previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging
and most cut-
ting conditions,
the engine
speed
should
be set in the FAST position.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers
can be-
come filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers
will collect
less grass. To
prevent
this, regularly
hose catcher
off
11
with water and let dry before
using.
• Keep top of engine
around
starter
clear
and clean of grass clippings
and chaff.
This will help engine
air flow and extend
engine
life.
MULCHING
MOWING
TIPS
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower
housing
free of built-up
grass and trash. See "CLEANING"
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual.
• The special
mulching
blade will recut
the grass clippings
many times and
reduce
them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse
into
the grass and not be noticed.
Also, the
mulched
grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide
nutrients
for the lawn.
Always
mulch with your highest
engine
(blade)
speed
as this will provide
the best recut-
ting action
of the blades.
• Avoid
cutting
your lawn when
it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps
and
interferes
with the mulching
action.
The
best time to mow your lawn is the early
afternoon.
At this time the grass has
dried,
yet the newly cut area will not be
exposed
to direct sunlight.
• For best results,
adjust the lawn mower
cutting
height
so that the lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-third
of the
grass blades.
If the lawn is overgrown
it
will be necessary
to raise the height
of
cut to reduce
pushing
effort and to keep
from overloading
the engine
and leaving
clumps
of mulched
grass.
For extremely
heavy grass,
reduce
your width of cut
by overlapping
previously
cut path and
mow slowly.
MAX 1/3
• Certain
types of grass and grass
conditions
may require
that an area be
mulched
a second
time to completely
hide the clippings.
When
doing a sec-
ond cut, mow across
(perpendicular)
to
the first cut path.
• Change
your cutting
pattern
from week
to week.
Mow north to south one week
then change
to east to west the next
week.
This will help prevent
matting
and
graining
of the lawn.
