SETUP

Starting the Engine

1.  To start a cold engine, move the Choke to the 

CHOKE position.  

To restart a warm engine, leave the Choke in the 

RUN position. 

2.  Open the Fuel Valve. 

3.   

4.  Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.  Then, 

if the Choke lever is in the CHOKE position, move 

the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position. 

Note:

 Moving the Choke Lever too fast could stall the engine.

IMPORTANT:

  Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes with no 

load after each start-up so that the engine can stabilize.

For MANUAL START

A.

 Turn the Engine Switch to ON. 

B.

 Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine 

loosely and pull it slowly several times to 

allow the gasoline to flow into the Engine’s 

carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle 

gently until resistance is felt. Allow Cable 

to retract fully and then pull it quickly. 

Repeat until the engine starts. Note: Do 

not let the Starter Handle snap back 

against the engine. Hold it as it recoils so 

it doesn't hit the engine.
