5. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly.

position.
CHOKE
RUN
NOTiCE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “RUN”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too
much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to
the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTiCE
Allow engine to warm at least 30 seconds depending on
ambient temperature. The colder the temperature, the longer
the warm-up required.
Stopping the Engine
In an emergency, turn the engine switch to the “OFF”
position.
NOTiCE
If the engine does not stop when the engine switch is moved
to the “STOP” position, move the throttle to the slow speed
position and slide the choke lever to the cold start (closed)
position.
Under normal operation:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes few minutes.
Important:
Always ensure that the fuel valve is in the “OFF”
position when the engine is not in use.
NOTiCE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or
longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine and
fuel storage.
