STARTING
To start the rammer, follow the procedure below.
1.
Open the fuel valve. (
Figure E
)
¸
2.
Set throttle lever to START position. In cold weather, choke should be closed fully. In
warm weather or if the engine is warm, choke should be half or fully open. In case the
engine fails to start, set the choke lever to the half open position.
3.
Grip the recoil starter and pull gently until you feel a slight resistance, then allow the
starter rope to rewind slowly. Then pull the starter handle with a rapid, full-arm stroke.
Allow the starter rope to rewind slowly. If the engine fails to start, repeat the action.
CAUTION
Once the engine starts,
do not let go
of the handle immediately as this will
cause it to snap back and damage the starter coil case. Release the handle
slowly as the cord retracts into the starter case.
4.
Once the engine has started, set the throttle lever to idle and slowly open the choke
lever while listening to the sound of the engine. Be sure to perform a warm-up run for a
period of 3 to 5 minutes at a low speed, while paying attention for fuel leakage or
abnormal sounds.
5.
If it is difficult to start the engine, remove the ignition plug and check the sparking
performance. If the plug is soiled, or wet due to excessive fuel intake, clean it or replace
the plug. With the ignition plug removed, pull the recoil starter handle two or three times
to discharge excessive blended gas.
