Lawn Boy 10605 - confused starting instructions

[tomnjerry1]

Hello Everyone...

Never owners a mower, just purchased a lawn boy self propelled gas mower -
Lawn Boy | Lawn-Boy Variable Speed Mower with Blade-Stop System | Home Depot Canada

I pumped in Oil and Gas.
Pulled the stroke and first stroke it started. Was really excited...

Now it has two levers - Front and Back.
Back one is to move the mower, I can see the rear wheels rotate.
The front bar which I pull the motor stops. Not sure why

Even when i pull the back bar, i dont see the mower moving forward, it just does nothing. When i lift the mower a little I can see the wheels moving...

What am I doing wrong. How do I get it started...
Help appreciated. Thanx in advance!!:

Home Depot sells them out of the box and expects you to do the pre-delivery assembly and inspection. It sounds as if the mower requires an adjustment. You can bring it back to Home Depot to ask for your money back or bring it to a Lawn Boy servicing dealer, however you will likely have to pay for the pre-delivery assembly and inspection as that is not likely a warrantable item.
