4.4 STARTING THE ENGINE

CAUTIONDO NOT USE STARTING FLUIDS. Use of starting fluids in the air intake system may be potentially explosive or cause a “runaway” engine condition that could result in engine damage and/or personal injury.

1. Besurethefuelshutoffvalve,locatedbythefueltank,iscompletelyopen.(SeeSection7.5.)

4.5 GROUND TRAVEL AND STEERING

- IMPORTANT -

If you are not familiar with the operation of a walk behind mower with a transmission, the steering and ground speed operations should be learned and practiced in an open area, away from buildings, fences, or obstructions.

Learn the operation on flat ground before operating on slopes.

Start practicing with a slow engine speed and slow forward travel.

Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain a smooth operating action.

Practice operating the mower until you are comfortable with the controls before proceeding to mow.

WARNINGTo avoid serious bodily injury and damage to the transmission, the machine must be at a full stop before shifting between gears or shifting between forward and reverse.

- NOTE -

Smooth operation of the steering / brake control levers will produce smooth mower operation. While learning the operation of the steering controls, keep the travel speed low.

REVERSE TRAVEL

CAUTIONDisengage power to the mower before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

CAUTIONBefore backing up, observe the rear for persons and obstructions. Clear the area before backing up. Possible injury or property damage could occur.

5. Ifabladecuttingedgeisdullornicked,itshouldbesharpened.Removethebladesforsharpening.See"BladeReplacement."

- NOTE -

Keep the blades sharp. Cutting with dull blades not only yields a poor mowing job, but slows the cutting speed of the mower and causes extra wear on the engine and the blade drive by pulling hard.

B. BLADE SHARPENING

- NOTE -

If possible, use a file to sharpen the blade. Using a wheel grinder may burn the blade.

- NOTE -

DO NOT sharpen the blades beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade. See Figure 7-3.
