Product Overview Operation Filling the Fuel Tank 4 5 DANGER Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others. • To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or machine directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object. • Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills. • Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.

Checking the Engine Oil Level Adjusting the Cutting Height Service Interval: Before each use or daily WARNING 1. Move the machine to a level surface. Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing serious injury. 2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. 3. Insert, but do not screw in, the dipstick into the oil fill hole. • Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 4. Remove the dipstick and check it.

Starting the Engine 1. Place the throttle control to the choke position, ensure that the fuel switch is in the ‘On’ position. g017329 Figure 15 4. Pull the recoil start handle. Note: If the machine does not start after several attempts, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. g017346 Figure 13 2. Hold the engine stop handle against the handle. 2 1 g017334 Figure 14 1.

Adjusting the Choke Use the throttle assembly to adjust the choke (Figure 16). 1 2 g017366 Figure 17 Operating Tips General Mowing Tips • Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other debris that the blade could hit. • Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object. g017367 Figure 16 1.
PAGE 12
– Raise the cutting height on your machine. WARNING – Cut the grass more frequently. Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry conditions. – Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass. • Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
