Starting
Ignition:
Set the stop switch to the start position.
Primer bulb:
Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Choke:
Set the choke control in the choke position.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the start handle until the engine starts.
When the engine starts, return choke control to run
position and apply full throttle; the throttle will
automatically disengage from the start setting.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
CAUTION!
Do not put any part of your body in marked
area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or electrical
shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always
use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark
plug cap.
For throttle handles with a start throttle
lock:
Set the throttle to the start position by first pressing the
throttle lockout and the throttle trigger, then pressing the
start throttle button (A). Then release the throttle lockout
and the throttle trigger, followed by the start throttle
button. The throttle function is now activated. To return the
engine to idle, press the throttle lockout and throttle
trigger again.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
!
WARNING! When the engine is started
with the choke in either the choke or
start throttle positions the cutting
attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
