Suffolk Punch Petrol Rotary 16R - how do I start it?

I do not know how to start this lawnmower. I may not be strong enough to pull start it or I may be setting it up incorrectly. Can you advise please?

make sure you have fresh petrol.Mine will not start with old petrol.
If it still will not start take the filter off and pour petrol directly into the carburetttor.This should work.
It cost me £45 to get mine serviced and when I collected it, it wouldnt start and this is how they got it going.You only need aflat screwdriver

There is a rubber button on the left side of the engine. This is used to prime it. Press this about 15 times, push the speed lever forwards (Fast) and give it a tug
