Warning:
For optimum protection of your hearing, please put on the supplied ear protec-
tion prior to starting the engine.
Unless already done during the preliminary check, the engine must be checked for adequate oil
and fuel levels prior to starting it.
For details about how to check and refill the oil, see § 11.4.2 – Checking the oil level
For refuelling see § 9.2 – Refuelling.
• If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel tap, open it.
• Depending on the type of engine, put the handle or turn the
switch into the ON position.
• Set the choke handle to “Close”.
• Open full throttle, represented by the image of a hare.
• Slightly pull the starter handle until you feel some resistance; then give a brisk pull. Allow the
starter chord to recoil back.
• Once the engine is running, set the choke handle to “Open”. This prevents the engine from
getting too much fuel. Failure to reopen the choke will cause the engine to slow down and it
will start producing a lot of smoke. Eventually it will come to a full stop. Restart the engine
without opening the choke if this happens.
• The engine refusing to restart could point at a greased spark plug. If that is indeed the case,
clean or replace the spark plug (see 11.5.2 Checking/replacing spark plug).
