Positions of the choke lever
CHOKE RUN
Cold start (choke lever in CHOKE position)
If the engine is cold, i.e. if it has not been in use
for more than 5 minutes, a “cold start” is carried
out.
Warm start (choke lever in RUN position)
If the engine is still warm from use, i.e. shortly af-
ter it was switched off, a “warm start” is carried
out. The choke is not used in this case.

NOTE With the “Ready to Start” function,
the ON/OFF switch is always in the ON posi-
tion.
Push the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion to stop the appliance. When the switch is
