gasoline is spilled on yourself and/or your clothes which can

ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

1. When adding fuel, turn engine OFF and let engine cool at

least 2 minutes before removing the gas cap.

2. Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well ventilated area.

3. Use only an approved gasoline container.

4. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer

bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the

ground away from your vehicle before filling.

5. If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

6. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do

not use a nozzle lock-open device.

4 Section 2 — important Safe operation practiceS

7. Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to full as indicated by

the fuel level indicator installed inside of the fuel tank or

marked on the tank. Do not over-fill to allow space for fuel

expansion. On some models, a fuel level indicator may NOT

be present, in this instance, fill the tank no more than 1/2

inch below the bottom of the filler neck to allow space for

fuel expansion.

8. Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap ratchets.

9. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and the

equipment. Move the machine to another area. Wait five

minutes before starting the engine.

10. To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine free of grass ,

leaves or other debris build up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage

and remove any fuel-soaked debris.

Clean Engine

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half

an hour before cleaning. Periodically remove dirt build-up from

engine. Clean finger guard and around muffler. Clean with a

brush or compressed air.

IMPORTANT: Do not spray engine with water to clean because

water could contaminate fuel. Using a garden hose or pressure

washing equipment can also force water into the air cleaner or

muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the paper

element, and water that passes through the element or muffler

can enter the cylinder, causing damage.

WARNING: Accumulation of debris around muffler

could cause a fire. Inspect and clean before every

use.

Storage

CAUTION: Failure to use a fuel stabilizing additive

or completely run the engine until it’s out of fuel

before off-season storage may result in damage to

your engine’s carburetor. Subsequent damage

would not be covered under the manufacturer’s

warranty.

Gasoline that will be stored longer than 30 days needs to be

pre-treated upon purchase with fuel stabilizer to prevent

gum and varnish from forming in the engines fuel and intake

system. Improper fuel storage can result in hard starting, no

starting, stalling and poor performance. If the gasoline in your

engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the

carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or

replaced.

1. Remove all fuel from tank by running engine until it stops

from lack of fuel.

WARNING: Never leave engine unattended while

running.

2. Change oil. See Oil Change section.

3. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 an ounce of engine

oil into cylinder. Replace spark plug and crank slowly to

distribute oil.

4. Clean debris from around engine, under finger guard, and

under, around and behind muffler. Touch up any damaged

paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film

of oil.

5. Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any

appliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such

as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any

area with a spark producing electric motor, or where power

tools are operated.

6. If possible, also avoid storage areas with high humidity,

because that promotes rust and corrosion.

7. Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or

oil leakage.

Removing From Storage

1. Check your engine as described in the Pre-Operation Check

section of this manual.

2. If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the

tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline

for refueling, make certain it contains only fresh fuel.

Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard

starting.

3. If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage

preparation, the engine will smoke briefly at startup. This

is normal.

The EZ Start Promise

Provisions of Your Limited Warranty

In addition to the other terms and conditions of the Limited

Warranty applicable to your new mower, MTD LLC (“MTD”) hereby

warrants that your mower’s engine will start on the first or second

attempt by an able-bodied adult (subject to the limitations

described below) for the duration of the manufacturer’s limited

warranty applicable to your product. If the engine on your mower

fails to conform to this limited warranty, MTD will cover the cost

of parts and labor associated with any adjustments and/or repairs

necessary to return your engine to its warranted condition. In

order to make a claim under these provisions of your warranty, you

must bring the product and proof of purchase to an authorized

MTD service provider. In many cases, the retailer who sold you

your mower is not equipped to provide warranty service, so please

locate the authorized service dealer nearest you by either calling

the phone number provided in your Operators Manual or looking

up an authorized service dealer on-line at www.mtdproducts.com.

Items and Conditions Not Covered

The EZ Start Promise does not cover and/or apply to the following:

• Cost of regular maintenance service or parts, such as filters,

fuel, lubricants, oil changes, spark plugs, air filter, blade

sharpening, worn blades, cable/linkage adjustments, or brake

and clutch adjustments

• Transportation costs to and from an authorized MTD service

provider

• Any engine used for commercial, rental, institutional,

governmental, or non-residential applications

• Any product or part that has been altered or misused or

required replacement or repair due to misuse, accidents, or

lack of proper maintenance

• Repairs necessary due to improper battery care, electrical

supply irregularities, or failure to properly prepare the mower

prior to any period of non-use over three months

• Pickup and/or delivery charges

• Operational misuse, neglect, accidents, unauthorized repairs

or attempted repairs of the engine or its components by

anyone other than an authorized MTD service provider.

• Repairs or adjustments to correct starting difficulties due to

any of the following: failure to follow proper maintenance

procedures — rotary mower blade striking an object —

contaminants in the fuel system — improper fuel or fuel/oil

mixture (consult your Operator’s Manual if in doubt) — failure

to drain the fuel system prior to any period of non-use over

three months.

• Any starting problem which results from the use of

inappropriate fuels, lubricants, or additives.

• Special conditions or circumstances that normally require

more than two pulls to start, specifically: 1) First start-up

following your initial purchase, 2) first time starts after

extended period(s) of non-use over one month or seasonal

storage, 3) cool temperature starts such as those found in

early spring and late autumn, and 4) difficult starting that

results from the operator’s failure to follow the proper

starting procedures identified in the Operator’s Manual. If

you are having difficulty starting your unit, please check the

Operator’s Manual to ensure that you are using the correct

starting procedures. This can save an unnecessary visit to a

Service Dealer.

Owner Responsibilities

You must maintain your mower (including its engine) by following

the maintenance procedures and starting instructions described

in the Operator’s Manual. Such routine maintenance, whether

performed by a dealer or by you, is at your expense. In addition,

please retain your proof of purchase and service receipts as these

may be required to validate a claim.

General Conditions

An authorized MTD service provider using approved replacement

parts must perform all repairs covered by the EZ Start Promise.

Repair by an MTD authorized service dealer is your sole remedy

under this warranty. MTD is not liable for indirect, incidental, or

consequential damages in connection with the use of the products

covered by these warranties, including any cost or expense of

providing substitute equipment or service during reasonable

periods of malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs

under this warranty.

Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential

damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so

certain exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

Table des matières

Consignes de sécurité

Fonctionnement

1. Assurez-vous de lire et de bien comprendre toutes les

instructions qui figurent sur la machine et dans la notice

d’utilisation avant de l’assembler et de la mettre en marche.

Conservez cette notice d’utilisation à un endroit sûr pour

toute consultation ultérieure et pour commander des

pièces de rechange.

2. Familiarisez-vous avec les commandes et leur

fonctionnement avant de vous en servir. Sachez comment

arrêter la machine et débrayer les commandes rapidement.

3. Ne permettez jamais à des enfants de moins de 14 ans

de se servir de la machine. Des enfants plus âgés doivent

lire et comprendre le mode d’emploi de la machine et les

consignes de sécurité. Un adulte doit leur apprendre à se

servir de cette machine et les surveiller.

4. Seuls des adultes responsables connaissant bien le

fonctionnement de la machine doivent être autorisés à s’en servir.

5. Éloignez tout le monde, en particulier les jeunes enfants et

les animaux de compagnie, de la zone de travail. Arrêtez la

machine si quelqu’un s’approche.

Préparation

1. Portez toujours des lunettes de sécurité en utilisant la machine

ou en effectuant un réglage ou une réparation. Un objet peut

en effet être projeté, ricocher et vous blesser aux yeux.

2. Débrayez la barre d’embrayage et décalez (le cas échéant)

la manette au point mort (“N”) avant de mettre en marche

le moteur.

3. Ne laissez jamais la machine sans surveillance quand le

moteur tourne.

4. N’essayez jamais d’effectuer un réglage quelconque

pendant que le moteur tourne, sauf en cas d’instructions

spéciales dans la notice d’utilisation.

Manipulation de l’essence:

Pour éviter toute blessure ou dégât matériel, faites très attention

en manipulant de l’essence. Il s’agit d’un produit extrêmement

inflammable et les vapeurs risquent d’exploser. Vous pouvez

être grièvement blessé si des éclaboussures sur votre peau ou

sur vos vêtements s’enflammaient. Rincez votre peau et changez

immédiatement de vêtements.

1. Arrêtez le moteur et laissez-le refroidir pendant au moins

2 minutes avant de retirer le bouchon d’essence pour faire

le plein.

2. Faites le plein à l’extérieur ou dans un endroit bien aéré.

3. Remissez le carburant dans des bidons homologués

seulement.

4. Ne faites jamais le plein dans un véhicule, ni à l’arrière

d’une camionette dont le plancher est recouvert d’un

revêtement en plastique. Placez toujours les bidons par

terre et loin de votre véhicule avant de les remplir.

5. Dans le mesure du possible, déchargez l’équipement

motorisé de la remorque et faites le plein par terre. Si cela

n’est pas possible, faites le plein avec un bidon plutôt que

directement de la pompe à essence.

6. Maintenez le gicleur en contact avec le bord du réservoir

d’essence ou avec l’ouverture du bidon jusqu’à ce que le

plein soit terminé. N’utilisez pas un gicleur équipé d’un

dispositif de blocage en position ouverte.

AVERTISSEMENT: Ce symbole attire votre attention sur des consignes de sécurité

importantes qui, si elles ne sont pas respectées, peuvent mettre en danger non seulement

votre personne et vos biens, mais aussi ceux d’autrui. Prière de lire toutes les instructions

figurant dans cette notice d’utilisation avant d’essayer de vous servir de cette machine. Le

non-respect de ces instructions peut entraîner des blessures corporelles. RESPECTEZ

L’AVERTISSEMENT QUI ACCOMPAGNE CE SYMBOLE!

DANGER : Cette machine doit être utilisé conformément aux consignes de sécurité qui

figurent dans ce manuel. Comme avec tout appareil motorisé, une négligence ou une erreur

de la part de l’opérateur peut entraîner de graves blessures. Par conséquent, le non-respect

de ces consignes peut causer des blessures corporelles graves et même mortelles.

Entretien et Remisage

1. Gardez la moteur en bon état de marche.

2. Laissez la machine refroidir pendant au moins 5 minutes

avant de la remiser. Ne modifiez jamais les dispositifs de

sécurité. Vérifiez souvent qu’ils fonctionnent correctement.

3. Vérifiez régulièrement que les boulons et vis sont bien

serrés et maintenez la machine en bon état de marche.

Examinez soigneusement la machine pour vous assurer

qu’elle n’est pas endommagée et n’a pas besoin d’être

réparée.

4. Avant de nettoyer, de réparer ou d’examiner la machine,

assurez-vous que la turbine et autres pièces en mouvement

se sont immobilisées. Débranchez le fil de la bougie et

éloignez-le de celle-ci pour empêcher tout démarrage

accidentel.

5. Ne modifiez pas le réglage du régulateur qui assure

un régime optimum sans présenter de danger. Il est

dangereux de laisser le moteur s’emballer, ce qui risque

de l’endommager ainsi que d’autres pièces mobiles de la

machine.

6. Prenez soin des étiquettes de sécurité et d’instructions et

remplacez-les au besoin.

7. Consultez toujours la notice d’utilisation quant aux

instructions de remisage hors-saison.

8. Le cas échéant, videz le réservoir d’essence à l’extérieur.

9. Respectez les règlements concernant l’élimination des

déchets et liquides qui risquent de nuire à la nature et à

l’environnement.

Ne modifiez pas le moteur.

Pour éviter toute blessure grave ou fatale, ne modifiez pas du

tout le moteur. Toute modification du réglage du régulateur

peu

t provoquer l’emballement du moteur et entraîner son

fonc

tionnement à des vitesses dangereuses. Ne modifiez jamais le

réglage de l’usine du régulateur.

Avis concernant les émissions de gaz

Les moteurs certifiés conformes aux normes régulatrices de

la Californie et de l’agence EPA fédérales pour SORE (petit

équipement hors route) sont certifiés pour fonctionner avec

de l’essence sans plomb ordinaire et peuvent être dotés des

systèmes de contrôle des émissions de gaz suivants : Engine

Modification (EM) et Three Way Catalyst (TWC) le cas échéant.

Pare-étincelles

AVERTISSEMENT : Cette machine est équipée

d’un moteur à combustion interne et elle ne doit

pas être utilisée sur un terrain non entretenu,

recouvert de broussailles ou d’herbe si le

système d’échappement du moteur n’est pas

muni d’un pare-étincelles, conformément aux

lois et règlements provinciaux ou locaux (le cas

échéant).

Si un pare-étincelles est utilisé, il doit être maintenu en bon état

de marche par l’utilisateur de la machine.

La station technique agréée la plus proche peut vous fournir un

pare-étincelles pour le pot d’échappement de cette machine.

7. Ne faites jamais déborder le réservoir. Remplissez le

réservoir jusqu’au repère « Full » sur l’indicateur de niveau

du carburant qui est placé à l’intérieur du réservoir. Ne

remplissez pas excessivement et laissez assez d’espace

pour l’expansion du carburant. Sur certains modèles SANS

indicateur de niveau du carburant, laissez un espace d’un

demi-pouce environ sous la base du goulot de remplissage

pour permettre l’expansion du carburant.

8. Remettez le capuchon en place et serrez jusqu’au déclic.

9. En cas de débordement, essuyez toute éclaboussures sur

le moteur et la machine. Déplacez la machine à une autre

endroit. Attendez 5 (cinq) minutes avant de mettre en

marche le moteur.

10. Limitez les risques d’incendie en débarrassant le moteur

des brins d’herbe, feuilles et autres saletés. Essuyez les

éclaboussures de carburant ou d’huile et enlevez tous les

débris imbibés d’essence.

11. Éloignez l’essence des étincelles, flammes nues, veilleuses

et autres sources de chaleur.

12. Ne faites jamais le plein de l’équipement à l’intérieur où les

vapeurs inflammables risquent de s’accumuler.

13. Éteignez toute cigarette ou pipe, tout cigare ou toute autre

chaleur incandescente.

14. Vérifiez souvent l’état des conduites d’essence, du réservoir,

du bouchon d’essence et autres raccords. Remplacez-les si

vous détectez un fendillement ou une fuite.

Fonctionnement

1. Vérifiez que la bougie, le silencieux, le bouchon d’essence et

le filtre à air sont bien installés avant de mettre le moteur en

marche.

2. Ne faites pas tourner le moteur si la bougie n’est pas

installée.

3. En cas de renversement d’essence, attendez que les

vapeurs se dissipent avant de mettre le moteur en marche.

4. Attendez que le silencieux, le cylindre du moteur et les

ailettes aient refroidi avant de les toucher.

5. Éloignez les enfants des moteurs en cours de

fonctionnement ou encore chauds. Ils pourraient être

brûlés par le silencieux.

6. Éliminez tous les débris combustibles de la proximité du

silencieux et du cylindre.

7. Vérifiez que tous les dispositifs de protection sont en place

avant d’utiliser l’équipement.

8. N’approchez pas les mains et les pieds de toutes les pièces

en mouvement.

9. Attachez les cheveux longs et ne portez pas de bijoux.

10. Ne portez pas de vêtements lâches, à cordelettes, ou tout

autre article qui risque d’être happé.

11. Pour mettre le moteur en marche, tirez lentement sur la

corde jusqu’à ce que vous sentiez une légère résistance,

puis tirez plus rapidement.

12. Démontez tout équipement auxiliaire externe ou supprimez

toute charge au moteur avant de mettre celui-ci en marche.
