How to Start a Push Mower
Starting a push mower is a matter of following the proper procedure. Push mowers incorporate a pull string start to start the motor. Most modern mowers have slim-lined this process of starting a mower so that it can be started in usually one to two easy pulls of the string. There is a safety switch you must also trip before starting or the motor will not start. This switch is known as the "dead mans switch" for your safety if you slip, fall or pass out. Does this Spark an idea?
