Hayter Mowers Motif 43F - Manual (Page 14)

Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables
move freely. Check that the engine stop and (ground drive clutch
levers - Autodrive models) return freely to their rest position when
released.
Turn the fuel valve to the on position. Move the throttle control lever
to the ‘choke’
position before starting a cold engine. Move the
throttle control lever to the ‘fast’ position before starting a warm
engine.
Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar with your left hand
together with the engine stop lever. With your right hand hold the
engine start - grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rap-
idly to crank the engine. Carefully return the start grip to the storage
position when the engine starts.
When the engine warms up move the control lever to the fast position.
If the engine does not start after 5 attempts - refer to “Trouble
Shooting”.
Push Models - Hold and push against the handlebar with both hands
to move the mower forward.
Autodrive models - Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive
clutch lever to power the mower in a forward direction.
When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower may be
pushed. This feature is useful when mowing in confined areas.
If the engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.
