Operating Instructions
NEVER FILL THE FUEL TANK ON A HOT ENGINE
Start-Up
1. Turn the Engine ON/OFF switch to ON (see Figure 7).
2. Slide the fuel shutoff lever to the right (open) position
(
Figure 8
).
Cold Starts
1. Move choke lever all the way to the left (full choke) position.
2. Move throttle lever on handlebar downward to “start”.
3. Pull recoil handle out slowly one time and allow to return.
4. Pull recoil handle out rapidly, and allow rope to return normally.
5. When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to the right (no
choke) position and increase throttle speed.
Restarting A Warm Engine
Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running
does not normally require use of the choke.
1. Move throttle lever to “start” position.
2. Pull recoil handle out rapidly until engine starts. Allow recoil rope
to return normally. Repeat until engine starts.
3. Adjust throttle speed to “full” for best tiller action.
Idle Speed
Use the “low” position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on the
engine when tilling is not being performed. Lowering the engine
speed to “idle” will help extend the life of the motor, as well as
conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the equipment.
Operating Speed
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to full throttle (fast).
Shutting Down
To stop the engine at any time, move throttle control to the STOP
position. To stop tines at any time, release the clutch lever. To
completely shutdown, move the engine ON/OFF switch to OFF
and slide the fuel shutoff lever to the closed position.
