9.1.2 Add gasoline (Fig. 3)
WARNING: never fill fuel tank indoors, with engine running or until the
engine has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes after running.
▪ Fill fuel tank to base of tank filler neck. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline.
▪ Do not overfill.
▪ Do not mix oil with gasoline.
▪ To assure fuel freshness, only purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methane can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage). Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage (See chapter Storage, further in this manual)
9.2 Starting the engine
Check the brake lever whether can be operated and stopped normally before each start.
To start the engine, first make sure that the spark plug cap is connected and that the machine
is filled with sufficient oil and gasoline.
NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the engine, a small amount of smoke
may be present during the initial use of the product and should be
considered normal.
Push 3 times the primer bulb. Pull the brake lever to the handle and pull starter handle quickly.
Do not allow starter rope to snap back.
NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps.
9.3 Stop engine
To stop engine, release the brake lever.
WARNING! The blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the
engine has stopped. Disconnect the spark plug cap if the lawnmower is to
be left unattended.
9.4 Self-propelling function
▪ Self-propelling is controlled by holding the brake lever up to the handle and pushing the
drive control lever forward until it clicks.
▪ Forward motion will stop when drive lever is released. To stop forward motion without
