Warranty Information
For specific warranty information, please refer to the included warranty card or contact the service center.
Starting the Engine: Before starting, ensure the grass catcher is properly attached. Use the primer (32) by pressing it 3 times. Pull the safety lever (2) towards the handle (1) and pull the starter handle (24) briskly. Release the starter handle slowly. For a warm start, the primer is not needed. Ensure the ground is firm and level, and the cutting blade does not touch anything.
Stopping the Engine: Release the safety lever (2). The engine and blade will stop.
Mowing: Hold the handle (1) and safety lever (2) firmly. Mow dry grass for best results and to avoid overloading the engine. Work in straight lines, slightly overlapping each path. Mow across slopes, not up or down. Stop the engine immediately if the blade hits an object.
Adjusting Cutting Height: There are 7 positions. Pull the lever (17) outwards and slide it to the desired position (33). Release the lever.
