be ooded with excess fuel.
Use the following procedure to clean and start a ooded engine:
A. Release the stop/start bar.
B. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated,
tighten it 1/8 to 1/4 turns with the socket spanner to compress the washer.
C. Pull the stop/start bar towards the upper handle.
D. Operate the starter, as described above.
Mowing with collection bag
WARNING! Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawn
mower.
Start the engine and allow it to run. See ‘Step 2 - Starting the engine’.
Keep a rm grip on the upper handle and stop/start bar and clutch the propulsion lever,
and walk along with it. Never run with the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or
rough ground. Maintain a stable footing.
Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when changing the direction of the
mower on a slope. Do not use the mower on a steep slope of more than 15°.
NOTE:
The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and
the grass collection system.
Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. Never use the lowest cutting
height for the rst cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only about one third of the
grass height should be cut.
If the lawn mower will not collect the cuttings efciently, the grass discharge chute may be
blocked, the grass bag may be full, or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.
Emptying the grass bag
Raise the discharge ap with one hand and remove the grass bag using its handle
with your other hand. To maintain safety, the discharge ap will close back to cover the
mulching plug when you release the ap.
Empty the grass debris in the grass collection bag and ret the bag. If any grass residues
are caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a nylon-bristled brush.
