4. Turn electric start key clockwise
to
crank engine.
IMPORTANT:
Do not crank engine more
than five continous
seconds
between
each time you try to start. Wait 5 to 10
seconds
between each attempt.
1. To start engine using the auxiliary
starter handle, follow the steps above.
Exchange
the use of the start key for
starter handle. Pull starter handle
quickly. Do not allow starter rope to
snap back.
TO STOP ENGINE
•
To stop engine, release operator
presence
control bar.
NOTE:
In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In
warmer weather over priming may cause
flooding and engine will not start. If you
do flood engine wait a few minutes before
attempting
to start and do not repeat
priming steps.
MOWING
TIPS
• Under certain conditions,
such as very
tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading
the
engine and leaving clumps of grass
clippings.
It may also be necessary
to
reduce ground speed and/or run the
mower over the area a second time.
• For extremely
heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most
cutting conditions, the engine speed
should be set in the FAST position.
• When using a rear discharge lawn
mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of
cut grass may not enter the grass
catcher. Reduce ground speed
(pushing speed) and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
• if a trail of clippings is left on the right
side of a rear discharge
mower, mow in
a clockwise
direction with a small
ovedap to collect the clippings on the
next pass.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with
use and catchers
will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regularly
hose catcher
off with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and
extend engine life.
MULCHING
MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. See "CLEANING"
in the
Maintenance
section of this manual.
• The special mulching blade will recut
the grass c_ippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into the
grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Always mulch with your highest engine
(blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching
action. The
best time to mow your lawn is the early
afternoon.
At this time the grass has
dried and the newly cut area will not b_
exposed to the direct sun.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-third of the
grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown
it
will be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep
from overloading
the engine and
leaving clumps of mulched grass. For
extremely
heavy grass, reduce your
width of cut by overlapping
previously
cut path and mow slowly.
MAX I/3
• Certain types of grass and grass
conditions
may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a
second cut, mow across or perpendicu-
lar to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week
then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting
and graining of the lawn.
