ARTING :
Fuel
●
Level the engine before fueling.
●
Open the fuel tank cap and f i ll the fuel tank
with 50 : 1 gas/oil pre-mixed fuel.
●
Pour slowly to avoid “spill back” and allow air
to escape from the fuel tank.
●
Close the tank cap securely by turning it
clockwise as far as it will go.
WARNING
Never fi ll the tank so the fuel level rises
into the fi ller neck. If the tank is over fi lled,
heat may cause the fuel to expand and
over
fl ow through the vents in the tank
cap. After refueling, make sure the fuel
tank cap is closed securely.
If gasoline is spilled on the fuel tank,
wipe it off immediately.
DANGER
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.
Do not operate the engine in enclosed
areas. Provide adequate ventilation at
all time.
Throttle lever
Engine switch
●
Turn the engine switch on the engine or the
equipment to the “
I
” (starting) position.
●
Move the throttle lever on the equipment to the
fully CLOSED (engine idle speed) position.
Priming pump
Fuel inlet tube
Over flow tube
(transparent)
●
Slowly push the priming pump several times
until the fuel comes out of the overf ow tube.
NOTE
○
This engine is designed so that over fl owed
fuel due to pushing a priming pump is to be
returned to the fuel tank.
○
There is no fear of fl ooding the engine, so
push the priming pump enough times to get
the engine started.
NOTE
○
Should the engine fail to start, do not try the
recoil start many times with the lift up lever to
the “STARTING” position or the choke lever
to the “CLOSED” position. This will cause
the fuel to
fl ood into the cylinder and make
starting even more dif fi cult. In this case, set
the lift up lever to the “RUNNING” position or
the choke lever to the “OPEN” position. And
then, repeat the starting.
○
After starting, vary the engine speed a few
times, by operating the throttle lever to draw
out the remaining air in the carburetor.
