To start the mower, ensure the fuel valve is open, the throttle is set to choke, and the brake lever is engaged. Pull the starter handle briskly.
To use the SmartStow feature, allow the engine to cool, clean the deck, and then fold the handle. Lift the mower by the front and secure it in the upright position for compact storage.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours or at the beginning of each mowing season.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, clean or replace the air filter, and verify the safety key is in place.
To adjust the cutting height, move the lever located on each wheel to the desired position. Make sure all wheels are set to the same height.
Regularly inspect the blade for sharpness, nicks, or damage. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed, at least once per mowing season.
After each use, turn off the mower and allow it to cool. Lift the mower using the SmartStow feature, and use a brush or hose to remove clippings from the deck.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
To replace the air filter, remove the cover by loosening the screws, take out the old filter, and insert a new one. Secure the cover back in place.
To winterize, drain the fuel tank, change the oil, remove the battery (if applicable), clean the mower, and store it in a dry location.
