TO START ENGINE
NOTE: Dueto protectivecoatingson the
engine,
a small amount of smoke may be
present during the initial use of the
product and should be considered
normal.
1. To start a cold engine, push primer
three (3) times before trying to start.
Use a firm push. This step is not
usually necessary when starting an
engine which has already run for a few
minutes.
2. Hold operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pull starter
handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
TO STOP ENGINE
• To stop engine,
release
operator
presence
control bar.
NOTE:
In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In
warmer weather over priming may cause
flooding
and engine will not start. If you do
flood engine, wait a few minutes before
attempting to start and do not repeat
priming steps.
MOWINGTIPS
• 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
lawn 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
cutting conditions, the engine speed
should be set in the fast position.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers
can
become
filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers
will collect
less grass.
To
prevent
this, regularly
hose catcher
off
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 h'ee 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 nuf_ients
for the lawn. Always mulch with your
highest engine (blade) speed as this will
provide the best recutting action of the
blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet
grass tends to form dumps and interferes
with the mulching action. The best time to
mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At
this time the grass has dried and the newly
cut area will not be exposed to the direct
sun.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the _awn 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
dumps 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 second cut, mow
across or 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.
