on
For your safety, do not operate the engine in an enclosed area such as a
garage. Your engine’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas
that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this
engine for any safety precautions that should be observed with engine
startup, shutdown or operation.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. If the fuel tank is equipped with a valve, be sure the fuel valve is in the
OPEN or ON position before attempting to start the engine.
2. SINGLE LEVER TYPE:
To start a cold engine, move the control lever to the CHOKE position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the control lever in the MIN. position.
DUAL LEVER TYPE:
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position
and move the throttle lever away from the MIN. position, about 1/3 of
the way toward the MAX. position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted control rather than
the engine-mounted lever shown here. Refer to the instructions
provided by the equipment manufacturer.
3. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
4. Operate the starter.
ELECTRIC STARTER:
Turn the key to the START position, and hold it there until the engine
starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5 seconds, release the key, and wait
at least 10 seconds before operating the starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time will overheat
the starter motor and can damage it.
When the engine starts, release the key, allowing it to return to the
ON position.
RECOIL STARTER (applicable types):
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly in
the direction of the arrow as shown below. Return the starter grip
gently.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it
gently to prevent damage to the starter.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can
build up to dangerous levels in closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness or
death.
Never run the engine in a closed, or even partly closed area.
