STARTING THE ENGINE

Only start the engine when standing behind of the mower.
Place the mower on a level surface where the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start of the cutter bar and makes
starting more difficult). Where this is not possible, position the mower in such a way that the cutter is facing diagonally away
from the user, although only as far as absolutely necessary.

Manual start without electro-start (Figure D + E )

– Push and hold the safety control bar (1) on the top tube (2) D .
Slowly pull the starter cable (3) until resistance is felt, then rapidly pull it out E – the engine begins to run, slowly recoil
–
the cable.
The engine runs with optimum power at maximum speed, which is required for a clean cutting pattern (engine speed = blade
speed).
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip out of your hand. Risk of injury!

Electro-start models (Figure D + P4 + E )
