1. To start a cold engine, push primer

Use a firm push. This step is not
usually necessary
when starting an
engine which has already run for a few
minutes.
2.

Hold operator presence control bar

rope to snap back.
NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps. In warmer
weather over priming may cause flooding
and engine will not start. If you do flood
engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not repeat priming
steps.

MOWING TIPS
o Under certain conditions,such as very
tall grass, it may be necessaryto raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keepfrom overloadingthe
engine and leavingclumpsof grass clippings. It may also be necessaryto reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mowerover the area a second time,
o For extremelyheavycutting, reducethe
widthof cut by overlappingpreviously
cut path and mow slowly.
o For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,the enginespeed should
be set in the FASTposition.
o Poresin cloth grass catcherscan become filled with dirt and dust with use
and catcherswill collectless grass,To
preventthis, regularlyhosecatcher off
with water and let dry beforeusing,
o Keeptop of engine aroundstarter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff,
This will help engineair flow and extend
engine life,

MULCHINGMOWmNG
TiPS
iMPORTANT: For best performance,
keepmowerhousingfree of built-up
grass and trash.See "CLEANING"in the
Maintenancesectionof this manual.
, The special mulching blade will recut
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into
the grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn, Always
mulch with your highest engine (blade)
speed as this will provide the best recutting action of the blades,
o Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet,
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action. The
best time to mow your lawn is the early
afternoon,
At this time the grass has
dried, yet the newly cut area will not be
exposed to direct sunlight.
o For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-thkd
of the
grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown
it
will be necessary
to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep
from overloading
the engine and leaving
clumps of mulched grass, For extremely
heavy grass, reduce your width of cut
by overlapping
previously cut path and
mow slowly,

MAX 1/3

o Certain types of grass and grass
conditions
may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings,
When doing a second cut, mow across (perpendicular)
to
the first cut path,
o Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week
then change to east to west the next
week, This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn,

SYSTEM

IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation
and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage.

OTHER
o Do not store gasoline
to another.

o Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
o If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
o Cover your unit with a suitable protec m
tive cover that does not retain moisture.

o Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty.
o Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
o Use fresh fuel next season.

Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover mower while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
_kCAUTION:
Never store the lawn mower

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio

with gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
