7-3 OPERATION PROCEDURES

During operation, tightly hold the brake handle with both

hands.

NOTE: During operation, when the brake handle

is released, the engine will stop and thus stopping the

lawn mower from operating.

WARNING: In order to avoid any unintentional

start-ups of the lawn mower, it comes equipped with an

engine brake which must be pulled back before the

engine can be started. When the engine control lever is

released it must return to its initial position, at which point

the engine automatically switches off.

NOTE: Engine brake (brake handle): Use the

lever to stop the engine. When you release the lever the

engine and the blade stop automatically. To mow, hold the

lever in the working position. Before you start to mow,

check the start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is

working properly. Ensure that the tension cable can be

smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any

way).

7-4 TO STOP ENGINE

CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for a

few seconds after the engine is shut off.

1. Release the brake control handle to stop the engine

and blade. (Fig. 29)

2. Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire as

instructed in the separate engine manual to prevent

accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

7-5 CONNECTION FOR AUTO MOVE

For PLM4631N2

Grip the self-drive control handle, the lawn mower will

move forward automatically with about 3.6 km/h (Fig. 30),

release the self-drive handle, the lawn mower will stop

move.

For PLM4632N, PLM5130N

The mower is equipped with a speed adjusting system

which can adjust 3 speeds from 3.0 km/h to 4.5 km/h.

Position “ ”: the slowest position; Position “ ”: the

fastest position. (Fig. 31)

The step as below:

1. Release the self-drive control handle until the lawn

mower does not go forward.

2. Adjust the appropriate speed which you want.

(Fig. 31)

3. Grasp the self-drive control handle to go on mowing.

(Fig. 30)

CAUTION: Your mower is designed to cut normal

residential grass of a height no more than 250 mm.

Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet

grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may

build up on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust

presenting a potential fire hazard.

7-6 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN

MOWING

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of

stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be

accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and

cause serious personal injury to the operator and others

as well as damage to property and surrounding objects.

Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet

grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the

deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut

no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The

recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the

grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the

clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For

especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be

necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get

a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you

may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the

blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and

perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the

first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will

also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn.

The mower should always be operated at full throttle to

get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of

mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the

underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a

build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching.

Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be

beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure

they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do

not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you

mow.

WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the

engine. Remove wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect

the mower for any damage and repair the damage before

restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of

the mower during operation is an indication of damage.

The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

7-7 GRASS CATCHER

There is a level indicator on the top of the grass catcher

that shows whether the catcher is empty or full (Fig. 32,

Fig. 33):

- The level indicator inflates if the catcher is not full

during the moving. (Fig. 33)

- If the catcher is full, the indicator collapses; once this

happens, stop moving immediately and empty the

catcher, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork

is ventilated. (Fig. 32)

IMPORTANT

If the position of indicator opening is very dirty, the

indicator will not inflate-in this case, clean the position of

indicator opening immediately.
