To fill fuel
If available, use low-emission/alkylate gasoline. If low-
emission/alkylate gasoline is not available, use good
quality unleaded gasoline or leaded gasoline with octane
number not less than 90.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline with an

position where you filled the tank before a start.
To set the cutting height

the cutting height.
2. Move the cutting height lever forward to decrease
the cutting height.(Fig. 25 )
CAUTION: Do not set the cutting height too
low. The blades can hit the ground if the

Operation

To start the product
1. Make sure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug.
2. Open the fuel valve.(Fig. 26 )
3. Stay behind the product.
4. Hold the engine brake handle against the handlebar.
(Fig. 27 )
5. Hold the starter rope handle with your right hand.
6. Slowly pull out the starter rope until you feel some
resistance.
7. Pull with force to start the engine.
WARNING: Do not twist the starter rope
around your hand.
To use the drive on the wheels
• Pull the drive bail in the direction of the handlebar.
(Fig. 28 )
• Before you pull the product rearward, disengage the
drive and push the product forward approximately
10cm.
• Release the drive bail to disengage the drive, for
example when you go near an obstacle.
To stop the product
• To stop the drive only, release the drive bail.
• To stop the engine, release the engine brake handle.
• Close the fuel valve.(Fig. 29 )
To get a good result
• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an
irregular result and the cut surface of the grass
becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less
energy than a blunt blade.
• Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass.
Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the
result and lower the cutting height to an applicable
level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2
times if necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time to prevent
stripes in the lawn.
