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.
