Starting and stopping

Cold engine

Ignition:

 Set the stop switch to the start position.

Start position is achieved by moving the stop switch 
slightly backwards until the stop switch clicks into start 
position.

It is not allowed to set the stop switch in full throttle 
position.

Choke:

 Set the choke control in the choke position.

Primer bulb:

 Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel 

begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely 
filled.

Warm engine

Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but 
without setting the choke control in the choke position.

Starting

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.

 

Never wrap the starter cord around your hand

Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the 
engine starts, return choke control to run 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.

Stopping

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

!

WARNING! Always move the machine 
away from the refuelling area and source 
before starting. Place the machine on a 
flat surface.

Make sure no unauthorised persons are 
in the working area, otherwise there is a 
risk of serious personal injury. The safety 
distance is 15 metres.

The machine may only be started in its 
complete design. If the machine is 
started without all the guards fitted there 
is a risk of personal injuries.
