Ø
Insert ignition key in start switch on engine. Turn engine start switch to START position and return switch to ON
position when engine starts.
Ø Should the engine fail to start using the electric starter (dead battery, malfunctioning starter, etc.) the recoil starter
can be used to start the engine. To start the engine using the recoil starter, switch engine ignition switch to ON
position and pull recoil starter until engine starts. After the engine starts return starter rope handle slowly against
the flywheel cover of the engine.
Ø After engine starts, move choke lever slowly to the OPEN position. Let engine warm up at full throttle and run
smoothly for approximately 5 minutes, before applying load. Failure to permit engine to warm up will foul spark plugs
and cause hard starting and/or loss of power. Avoid starting and stopping engine without warming engine.
Ø
To avoid draining the battery, do not leave ignition switch in the ON position when engine stops.
