Add Petrol
WARNING: Always use a safety petrol
container. Do not smoke when adding
petrol to the fuel tank. Do not add petrol
when you are inside an enclosure. Before
you add petrol, stop the engine and let the
engine cool for several minutes.
(Figure 9) Fill the fuel tank (A) to the FULL (B) position
with regular unleaded petrol. Do not use premium unleaded
petrol. Make sure the petrol is fresh and clean. Leaded petrol
will increase deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
How To Start The Engine

operator presence system that includes a
sensor switch for the seat. These

Mowing and Bagging Tips

1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the
mower housing See authorized dealer.
2. For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tires
have the correct amount of air pressure.
3. Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the
blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause
the ends of the grass to turn brown.
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not
discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before cutting.
6. Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near an
object.
7. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The
result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right
so that the cut grass will dis charge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in
the op posite direction making left turns until fin ished.
9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to de crease the
load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in
the highest position and then lower the mower housing
for the second cut.
10. For better engine performance and an even discharge
of the cut grass, always operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position.
11. When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position and the speed control pedal
pushed 1/3 to 1/2 for ward.
12. After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower
housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower
housing will help pre vent a fire.
