Starting Engine
WARNING:
Be sure no one other than the operator
is standing near the lawn mower while starting
engine or operating mower. Never run engine
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and
loose clothing away from any moving parts on
engine and lawn mower.
Follow the set of instructions pertaining to your unit. Refer to
Engine Operator's Manual for help with the engine.
Briggs & Stratton
1. Push the primer three times. See Figure 5-20. Do not prime
to restart a warm engine.
NOTE: If you push the primer too many times, excessive
fuel will flood the engine and it will be difficult to start.
2. Standing behind the mower, squeeze the blade control
against upper handle.
3. Holding these two handles together firmly, grasp recoil
starter handle and pull rope out with a rapid, continuous,
full arm stroke. See Figure 5-20. Keeping a firm grip on the
starter handle, let the rope rewind slowly. Repeat until
engine cranks. Let the rope rewind each time slowly.
MTD
1. Push primer three times. Wait about two seconds between
each push. See Figure 5-21. In temperature below 50°F,
prime five times. After the engine is warmed up, one prime
may be needed for all temperatures.
2. Standing behind the mower, squeeze and hold the blade
control against upper handle.
3. Pull the recoil starter lightly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback, and
start the engine. Repeat if necessary. See Figure 5-21.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the recoil starter to snap back
against the rope guide.
If engine does not start, it may be necessary to re-prime the
engine.
Stopping Engine
1. Release blade control to stop the engine and blade.
WARNING:
Wait for the blade to stop completely
before performing any work on the mower.
Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects
which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could
be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
