TO START
ENGINE
NOTE: Due to protective coatings on 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.
MOWING
TIPS
• 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 c_ear
and clean of grass clippings
and chaff.
This wilt 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 recutting 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 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 lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-third
of the
grass blades,
tf 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
second
cut, mow across
or perpendicu-
lar 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.
