100738 - 224cc ENGINE
OPERATION
13
OPERATION
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the equipment is on a flat, level surface.
2. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
3. Move the throttle lever to “FAST” position.
4. Move the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
5. Pull the starter cord until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
6. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position.
NOTIcE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “Run”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter.
Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding
due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not
to start.
NOTIcE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the log
splitter is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with
a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when
the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
