Operation
Pre-Operation Check
The engine is shipped without gasoline or oil in the engine. See
the Set-Up Section of this manual for instructions on adding oil
and gasoline.
Determine The Starting System
Before starting the engine, you must determine the type of
starting system that is on your engine. Your engine will have one
of the following types:
•
Auto-Choke System: This features an automatic choke
that does not have a manual choke or primer.
•
Primer System: This features a primer on the engine.
•
Manual Choke System: This features a choke on the
engine and no primer. Choke systems located on the
engine will feature an engine switch and may also feature a
fuel shut-off valve.
To start your engine, follow the instructions for your type of
starting system.
Note: Equipment may have remote controls. See the equipment
manual for location and operation of remote controls.
Starting the Engine
WARNING:
Always keep hands and feet clear of
equipment moving parts. Do not use a pressurized
starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.
Auto-Choke System
1.
Standing behind the mower, depress the blade control
handle and hold it against the upper handle. See Figure 5-1.
2.
Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback and
start engine. Repeat if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back
against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
the starter.
Primer System
1.
Push primer 3 times. Wait about two seconds between
each push. See Figure 5-2. In temperature below 50°F,
prime 5 times. After the engine is warmed up, one prime
may be needed for all temperatures.
2.
Standing behind the mower, squeeze and hold the blade
control against upper handle.
3.
Pull the recoil starter lightly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback, and
start the engine. Repeat if necessary. See Figure 5-2.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the recoil starter to snap back
against the rope guide.
If engine does not start, it may be necessary to re-prime the
engine.
