WARNING:
Experience indicates that 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. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer° Drain the fuel tank, start the
engine and let it run until fue! lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information.r
Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur_

MOWING

TO START ENGINE
•

To start a cold engine, push primerfive (5) times before
trying to start, Use a firm push. This step is not usually
necessary when starting an engine which has already
run for a few minutes,

o

Move engine speed control lever to fast (_)

o

and pull starter handle quickly, DO NOT allow starter
rope to snap back..

-

To STOP engine, release operator presence control
bar.

position_

•

Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may
be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine
and teaving clumps of grass c{ippings.

.

For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut
and raise the rear of the lawn mower housing one (t)
wheel adjuster setting higher than the front for better
discharge of grass

•

For' better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,
the engine speed should be set in the fast ('_) position

=

For side discharge lawn mowers, cutting in a counterclockwise 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
waikways, flower beds, etc., make the first cuts in a
clockwise direction_

•

Pores incloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt
and dust with use and catchers will collect less grass,
To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water
and let dry before using

o

Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of
grass clippings and chaff. This witl help engine air flow
and extend engine life.

NOTE: in cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat
priming steps. Inwarmerweather
over priming rnaycause
flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood enginewait
a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT
repeat priming steps.
