NOTE:
If the engine does not start, it may be flooded. Flooding is caused by
too much fuel injected into the combustion chamber and can prevent the engine
from starting. To resolve flooding follow the below procedure:
1. Remove the spark plug (
14a
) and dry it.
2. Pull the recoil starter handle (
24
) for several times to drain the fuel from the
combustion chamber.
3. Wait for
10
minutes until fuel vapours and refit the spark plug (
14a
). Clean
up any spilt fuel and move the product at least
3
metres away before starting
the engine to avoid any accidental fire.

2. Release the brake clutch (
