CAUTION:
Never use straight petrol in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use good quality unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (more than 10%
alcohol) can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.
WARNING:
Incorrect use of fuel and/
or lubricants will cause problems such as:
improper clutch engagements, overheat-
ing, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication defi-
ciency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets
and internal carburetor components, etc.
Alcohol blended fuels will cause a high ab-
sorption of moisture in the fuel/oil mixture,
causing the separation of oil and fuel.

4. Pull starter rope handle sharply until engine
sounds as if it is trying to start, but do not pull
rope more than 4 times.
5. As soon as engine sounds as if it is trying to
start, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE
position.
6. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,
but no more than 6 pulls.
NOTE:
If the en-
gine doesn’t start after 6 pulls (at the HALF
CHOKE position), move the choke lever to
the FULL CHOKE position and press the
primer bulb 6 times. Squeeze and hold the
throttle trigger and pull the starter rope 2
more times. Move the choke lever to the
HALF CHOKE position and pull the starter
rope until the engine runs, but no more
than 6 pulls. If the engine still doesn’t start,
it is probably flooded. Proceed to START-
ING A FLOODED ENGINE.
7. Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10 se-
conds, then move the choke lever to the
RUN position. Allow the unit to run for 30
more seconds at RUN before releasing the
throttle trigger.
NOTE:
If engine dies with
the choke lever in the RUN position, move
the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE posi-
tion and pull the rope until engine runs, but
no more than 6 pulls.
