Controls
Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables
move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers
return freely to their rest position when released.
Operate the primer bulb: Note: Push on the primer bulb 5 times at
two second intervals to provide the extra fuel to start the engine after
assembling the mower for the first time.
In normal use push on the primer bulb 3 times at 2 second intervals to
provide the extra fuel required to start a cold engine. Operation of the
primer bulb is usually unnecessary when starting a warm engine.
Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the
engine stop lever with your left hand. With your right hand hold the
engine start - grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to crank the engine. Carefully return the start grip to the stor-
age position when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after 5 attempts - refer to “Trouble
Shooting”.
The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to
start and keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is
released the engine will stop.
To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the
engine is running.
