Note:
• Should the engine fail to start, do not try the recoil start many times with the choke lever to the
“START” position. This will cause the fuel to flood into the cylinder and make starting even
more difficult. In this case, set the choke lever to the “RUN” position. And then, repeat
the starting.
• After starting, vary the engine speed a few times, by operating the throttle lever to draw out the
remaining air in the carburetor.
Warning!
Releasing the starting rope suddenly may allow the rope to whip around
and cause injury and/or damage the recoil starting mechanism. When
starting the engine, firmly grasp the recoil starter grip; do not grasp the
starter rope itself. Always control the rope as it rewinds into the housing.
6. Hold the equipment firmly with one hand on the shaft tube (13). With the other hand, pull the starter
cable several times on the starter handle (3) until the engine starts. Pull the recoil starter grip slowly
to engage the starter, then give a short, quick pull.
Caution! Do not pull the starter cable out too far – risk of breaking!
