To stop the mower in an emergency: 

1. Release the engine/blade control.
2. Release the wheel drive control (self-

propelled models).

3. Allow all moving parts to stop before 

leaving operator’s position.

See Figure 4  for all Controls and Features.
NOTE: Start engine on a level surface that is 
free of debris. 

1. Check each item under Before Each 

Use in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 
on page 17.

2. For engines with a primer, push primer 

bulb 2 or 3 times for a cold engine. 

NOTE: It is unnecessary to prime or choke a 
warm engine.

3. For engines with a throttle, place throttle 

control in the choke position. Once the 
engine has started, place throttle in the 
high speed detent.

4. With engine/blade control held against 

the handlebar, grasp starter handle and 
pull rope slowly until it pulls harder. This 
is the compression stroke. Let rope 
rewind slowly. 

5. Pull rope with rapid continuous full arm 

stroke to start engine. Allow rope to 
rewind slowly.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT let starter handle 
snap against bracket.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until engine starts. 

(If engine does not start, see 
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 25.)

1. Release wheel drive control and allow 

unit to stop completely (self-propelled 
models).

2. Release engine/blade control.

Cut grass when it is dry.

Keep mower blades sharp.
Do not set cutting height too low. For tall 
grass, mow twice.

Do not mow too fast.

Mow with engine at full throttle. Discharge 
clippings into areas already cut.
Vary cutting pattern with each mowing.

NOTE: To prevent dirt and grass from 
collecting on mower pan, avoid operating 
over bare ground with only patches of grass. 

For best mulching performance, cut no more 
than 1-inch (2.54 cm) of grass per cutting.

WARNING: Improper operation 
can lead to injury. Learn what the 
controls do and how they work. 
Thoroughly read and understand 
entire Operator Manual.
