Recoil Starter

Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt to start the engine, then pull 

briskly. Do not allow the starter to snap back against the machine. Instead, 

return it gently to prevent damage to the starter or other mechanisms.

Fuel Valve

The fuel valve controls the fuel flowing from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be 

sure to return the lever to “OFF” after stopping the engine.

AC Circuit Breaker/Over Current Protector

The overload current will automatically switch off the circuit breaker to avoid a 

short circuit overload.
