8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

8-1 BEFORE STARTING

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in 
the separate engine manual packed in your mower. Read 
instructions carefully.

WARNING:

 Petrol is highly flammable.

Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this 
purpose.
Refuel outdoors only, before starting the engine and do 
not smoke while refueling or handling fuel.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while 
the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but 
move the machine away from the area of spillage and 
avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors 
have dissipated.
Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
Before tipping the lawn mower to maintain the blade or 
drain oil, remove fuel from tank.

WARNING:

 Never fill fuel tank indoors, with 

engine running or until the engine has been allowed to 
cool for at least 15 minutes after running.

8-2 TO START ENGINE AND ENGAGE 

BLADE

1. The unit is equipped with a rubber boot over the end of 

the spark plug, make certain the metal loop on the end 
of the spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is 
fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.

2. Press the primer bulb 3-5 times before starting the 

engine.

 (Fig. 20)

3. When starting cool engine, turn throttle choke lever to 

“

” position. When starting warm engine and 

Operating, turn throttle choke lever to “

” position. 

(Fig. 21)

4. Standing behind the unit, grasp the stop control 

handle and hold it against the upper handle as shown 
in 

Fig. 22

.

5. Grasp the starter handle as shown 

Fig. 22

 and pull it 

up rapidly. Return it slowly to the rope guide bolt after 
engine starts. Release the stop control handle to stop 
the engine and blade.

Start the engine carefully according to 
instructions and with feet well away from the 
blade.

Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the 
engine. Start the mower on a level surface, free 
of high grass or obstacles.

Keep hands and feet away from the rotating 
parts. Do not start the engine when standing in 
front of the discharge opening.

8-3 OPERATION PROCEDURES

During operation, tightly hold the stop control handle with 
both hands.

Note: 

During operation, when the stop control 

handle is released, the engine will stop and thus stopping 
the lawn mower from operating.

8-4 TO STOP ENGINE

CAUTION: 

The blade continues to rotate for a 

few seconds after the engine is shut off.
1. Release the stop control handle to stop the engine 

and blade.

2. Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire as 

instructed in the separate engine manual to prevent 
accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

8-5 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN 

MOWING

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of 
stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be 
accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and 
cause serious personal injury to the operator and others 
as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. 
Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet 
grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the 
deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut 
no more than 1/3 the length of the grass.
The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the 
grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the 
clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For 
especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be 
necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get 
a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you 
may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the 
blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and 
perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the 
first time.
Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to 
clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower 
should always be operated at full throttle to get the best 
cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing. 
Clean underside of deck.
Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after 
each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would 
prevent proper mulching. 
Mowing leaves: The mowing of leaves can also be 
beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure
