STARTING AND STOPPING

Air purge:

 Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until 

fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be 
completely filled.

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left 
hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!).

Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right 
hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), 
now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.

Push the choke control back to its original position as soon as 
the engine fires, and continue trying to start until the engine 
starts. When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle to 
automatically disengage the start throttle setting.

Stopping

The engine is stopped by moving the stop switch to the stop 
position.

CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and 
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully 
extended. This can damage the machine.
