Starting The Engine; Stopping The Mower - IKRA IBRM 1040 TL Manuel D'utilisation

Starting the engine

WARNING! Keep hands, feet and clothing well
away from moving parts, the exhaust, and the
engine cowling. Refer to "Tips on mower safety".
1. Make sure that your mower is on a safe, flat area (a
paved area or path is ideal– avoid thick wet grass
and gravel surfaces) to make starting safe.
2. Push the red primer three times. (see fig.10)
Note: Priming is usually unnecessary when restar-
ting a warm engine.
Note: If you push the primer too many times, exces-
sive fuel will flood the carburetor and the engine will
be difficult to start.
3. Firmly hold the brake lever with one hand (position
„RUN", see fig.11), and then with your other hand pull
the cord slowly until you feel resistance. Then pull
vigorously with one positive action (see fig.12). Guide
the cord back to it's rest position (Do not release).
WARNING: The cutting blade turns when the en-
gine is being started.

Stopping the mower

To stop the mower, release the operator control lever.
The engine and the blade will stop turning automatically.
If there is a build-up of grass beneath the chassis, stop
the engine, remove the spark plug cap and wait until the
engine has cooled before clearing the grass.
When the engine has been switched off, the cutter
continues running for several seconds therefore do
not touch the underside of the mower until the cutter
has come to a standstill!
