Starting the Engine

way to the right.
2. Move the choke lever left to the On position if you
are starting a cold engine.
Note: A warm or hot engine may not require
choking.
3. Hold the safety bail against the handle and push the
handle down enough to raise the cutting wheel off
the ground.
4. Pull the starter handle lightly until you feel
resistance, then pull the handle briskly. Return the
starter handle gently.
5. After the engine starts, gradually move the choke
lever back to the Off position. If the engine stalls or
hesitates, move the choke back to On again until the
engine warms up. Then move it to the Off position.
6. Hold the throttle lever against the handle to rotate
the cutting wheel.
Stopping the Engine
1. Release your hand from the throttle lever.
Note: If the engine has been working hard or is
hot, let it run for a minute before releasing the
safety bail. This helps to cool the engine before
stopping. In an emergency, the engine may be
stopped immediately.

3. Move the fuel valve to the Closed position, all the
way to the left.
