STARTING AND STOPPING THE POWER MOWER
Every time you get ready to start the motor, make a careful check of the following:
•
Make sure that fuel is in the tank.
•
Check the motor oil level: CAUTION: MACHINES OUT OF THE FACTORY DO NOT
CONTAIN OIL IN THE MOTOR. Make sure to add oil up to the level on the dipstick.
•
CONSULT THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL OF THE MOTOR UNDER
"BEFORE START-UP"
•
Check that all safety systems are released and functioning.
•
Start the machine always in the open air and stay at its side.
•
Bring the accelerator hand lever (Fig. 5) to the "MAX" position, grasp the cord handle
(Fig. 6) and pull it slightly until you feel some resistance, then pull harder. Make sure that
the cord does not return by itself -- accompany it with your hand.
•
With the motor running, bring the accelerator lever (Fig. 5) to the middle position To
make the machine go forward squeeze the clutch lever (Fig. 7 Ref. B) ; if you leave the
lever, the machine stops.
•
To move the mower freely forward or back, squeeze the wheel release lever (neutral position) after squeezing the
clutch lever.
SAFETY DEVICE FOR STOPPING THE MOTOR
The main function of the lever Fig. 7 is to turn off the motor when releasing your hands from the steering handles.
Every time you get ready to start the motor, check if the engaging and disengaging of the transmission to the wheels and
to the bar through the levers on the handlebars work regularly.
