USER MANUAL
8 – Starting the engine
When cold, turn choke to “ON” position
(depending on engine model)
WARNING: Do not fire the starter unless the gas handle is in the correct position, with the stop
button clearly and immediately accessible.
Once the engine has started, you can turn
the choke to the "OFF" position after a few
seconds.
Do not take off with the choke in the
"ON" position!
It is not necessary to carry out a full gas heating, in order to minimize the risks of accident as much as
possible.
The purpose of this manipulation is to identify any engine anomalies (noise, vibration).
Each engine has its "little character", learn to tame it to start it at best.
WARNING : never to raise it in RPM without a propeller, this would damage the engine.
Place the left hand as shown in the photo holding vertical and the gas grip as
noted.
No gas power on the first attempts to start.
Pay particular attention to the position of your thumb in relation to the stop button.
The thumb should not be stuck by the han-
dle strap.
Do not shoot the starter without having the
handle in the right position, with the stop
button clearly and immediately accessible.
