TO STARTENGINE

To start a cold engine, push primer five (5) times

before trying to start. Use a firm push° This step

is not usually necessary when starting an engine

which has ah'eady run for a few minutes°

o Pushengine speed control lever forward to HIGH

position.

*Hold operator presence control bar down to the

handle and pull starter handle quickly. Do not

allow starter rope to snap back.

o To STOP engine, release operator presence con-

trol bar'.

NOTE:In cooler weather it may be necessary to

repeat priming steps. In warmer weather over' prim-

ing may cause flooding and engine will not start. If

you do flood engine wait a few minutes before at-

tempting to start and DO NOT repeat priming steps.

MOWING TIPS

o Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass,

it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to

red_Jce pushing effort and to keep from

overloading the engine and leaving clumps of

grass clippings.

o For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of

cut and raise the rear of the lawn mower hous-

ing one (1) wheel adjuster setting higher than the

front for better discharge of grass.

° For better grass bagging and most cutting con-

ditions, the engine speed should be set in the

"HIGH" (FAST) position°

oWhen using a rear discharge lawn mower in

moist, heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may not

enter the grass catcher, Reduce ground speed

(pushing speed) and/or run the lawn mower over

the area a second time_

o If a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side

of a rear discharge lawn mower, mow in a

clockwise direction with a small overlap to col-

lect the clippings on the next pass.

o For side discharge lawn mowers, cutting in a

counter-clockwise direction, starting at the outside

of the area to be cut, spreads grass clippings more

evenly and puts less load on the engine To keep

clippings off of walkways, flower beds, etco, make

the first cuts in a clockwise direction_

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled

with dirt and dust with use and catchers will col-

led less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose cat-

cher off with water and let dry before using.

o The vent holes in the baffle in back of apermanex

catcher can become filled with dirt and dust with

use and the catcher will collect less grass.

To prevent this, regularly hose the catcher baffle

with water and let dry before using.

°Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean

of grass clippings and chaff. This witl help engine

air flow and extend engine life.

GENERALRECOMMENDATUON

o Once a year you should replace the spark plug,

air filter and check blade for' wear. A new spark

plug and air' filter assures proper air-fuel mixture

and helps your engine run better and last longer,

You should check all fasteners and be sure they

are tight,
