OPERATION I' I II'111 ......................................................... .................. BEFORE STARTING ENGINE(€ONT'O) ..... GAS: • Fill gasoline tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE PREMIUM GASOLINE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL TANK (SEE FIG. 12)_ WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasoho! or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of ac:ids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system shouidbe emptied before storage for' 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel|ines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. MOWINGTIPS Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occurs. • Make sure Fuel Shut-Off Valve is open (See Fig_ • To start a cold engine, push Primer five (5) times before trying to start. Use a firm push being sure to cover the hole in the Primer Bulb with your finger. This step is not usually necessary when starting an engine which has already run for a few minutes° Ill OIL FILL CAP WtDIPSTtCK IIIl!lIJI ENGINE SPEED CLEANEE FUEL TANK GASOLINE FiLL CAP SHUT-OFF VALVE FIG. 12 Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut and lower' the ground speed to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. • For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut and raise the rear of the lawn mower housing one (1) wheel adjustei' setting higher than the front for better discharge ofgrass_ o For better grass bagging andmost cutting conditions, the engine speed should be set in the "HIGH" (FAST) position. ° When using a rear discharge lawn mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may not enter the grass catcher. Reduce ground speed (pushing speed) and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time. ° if a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side of a rear discharge lawn mower, mow in a clockwise direction with a small overlap to collect the clippings on the next pass. ° Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will cotled less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before using. ° Keep top of engine around starter clea_and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life. TO STARTENGINE • MLL'I t2) • Push Engine Speed Control Lever to HIGH position° Hold Engine Control Bar down to the Handle and pull Starter Handle quickly. Do not allow Rope to snap back. • To STOP engine, release Engine Control Bar, NOTE: tn cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps. In warmer weather over"priming may cause flooding and engine will not start, tf you do flood engine wait a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT repeat priming steps. NOTE:Close Fuel Shut-Off Valve when equipment is not in operation (See Fig. 12). 10 MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATION o Once a year you should replace the Spark Plug, clean or replace Air Filter and check Blade for wear.
