Engine Cylinder
Remove the spark plug 
(see page 37). Pour a 
tablespoon (5 ~ 10 cc) of clean 
engine oil into the cylinder. Pull 
the starter rope several times to 
distribute the oil in the cylinder. 
Reinstall the spark plug.
Pull the starter rope slowly until 
resistance is felt then return the 
starter grip gently. This will 
close the valves so moisture 
can not enter the engine 
cylinder.
Handlebar Folding
The handlebar can be folded for storage or transport by loosening the 
handlebar locking knobs.
1. Remove the grass bag. You 
can place it on top of the 
engine, with the bag opening 
to the front.
2. Loosen the handlebar locking 
knobs. Spread the handlebar 
struts to release the locating 
pins, then swing the 
handlebar forward. Prevent 
the cables from getting 
pinched or kinked.
When unfolding the handlebar, be sure to tighten the locking knobs 
to secure the handlebar in the mowing position.
