Starting the Engine

WARNING: The blade will rotate
when the engine runs.
IMPORTANT: Before you start the engine, operate the engine
stop lever several times. Make sure the engine stop cable
moves freely.
Note: Models equipped with Ready Start
feature a primer button. See the engine manufacturer's
instructions for further information.
Note: The engine design does not include a throttle control
or an engine speed adjustment. The engine is set at the best
speed for cutting grass, bagging grass, and for extended
engine life.
1. Check the oil.
2. Fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline. Make
sure the gasoline is clean. Leaded gasoline will increase
deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
Note: Do not use gasohol or methanol. Do not use premium
unleaded gasoline.
WARNING: Always use a safety gasoline
container. Do not smoke when adding gasoline
to the fuel tank. When inside an enclosure, do
not add gasoline. Before you add gasoline,
stop the engine and let the engine cool for
several minutes.
3. Make sure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark
plug.
4. Make sure the drive lever is in the disengaged position.
WARNING: To prevent an accident, make sure
the drive lever is in the DISENGAGED position.
When the drive lever is in the ENGAGED
position, do not start the engine.

engine stop lever in the operating position (A, Figure
14). Use the other hand to hold the recoil-start grip (B).
6. Make sure the recoil-start rope is not obstructed or
caught between the upper and lower handles. Rapidly
pull the recoil-start grip. Slowly return the recoil-start
grip.
