Then, holding the main pipe with your left hand, put
your right foot on the frame, and pull out the starter
knob with your right hand.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull out the starter rope up to its end, and do not
let the knob jump out of the right hand otherwise it may
not return to its original position.

7. Allow the engine to run for 2 or 3 minutes to warm
up before using the machine.

If you repeat the starting operation while leaving the
choke closed, the electrodes of the spark plug might
become wet and prevent starting. If this happens, try
the starting operation again after opening the choke
and pulling out the starter rope repeatedly, or after tak-
ing out the spark plug and drying the electrodes.

the throttle lever to its original position and reduce the
