1.
Set the machine down on a hard, level surface
2. Move the on/off switch (3) to the “start” “I” position.
3. Close the choke lever (16). NOTE: The CLOSED
position enriches the fuel mixture for starting a cold
engine. For restarting a warm engine, leave the choke
lever (16) in the OPEN
position.
4.
Press the fuel pump (17) (if present) repeatedly,
until fuel begins to fill the bulb (to start a warm engine,
it’s not necessary to press it).
5.
The throttle lever (22) should be set to the starting
position, in order to do that: press the throttle lock-out
(21) , by gripping the control handle and hold the throttle
set button (20) (if present), while releasing the throttle
lever (22).

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

Grip the handle of recoil starter (15), slowly pull
out the cord with your right hand until you feel some
resistance, then quickly and powerfully pull the cord
(CAUTION! Never twist the recoil starter (15) around
your hand!).
8.
Repeat pulling the cord of recoil starter (15) until
the engine starts.
9.
When the engine starts, slowly open the choke
lever (16) ONLY if it had been put on CLOSE position
because the engine was cold.
10. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
When the engine is warm enough to idle well, pull and
release the throttle lever (22) to disengage the throttle
set button (20).
NOTE: the throttle set button (20) is used to hold the
throttle lever (22) at the fast idle position for starting.
ATTENTION! Do not allow the cutting equipment to
contact any obstruction when starting the engine
with the throttle set button (20) engaged!
ATTENTION! Do not use the throttle set button (20)
