Slowly return the recoil starter handle to the
original position.
After starting engine, warm up it for about five
minutes by idling speed and check for fuel
leakage or abnormal sounds in the meantime.
In cold weather, the engine should be started at
operation position of the throttle lever. (Fig.7) In
this case, note that the rammer will jump soon
after starting engine, so move the throttle lever
to idling position quickly.
Do not pull the recoil starter rope all the way to
the end.
Be careful to the snap back of the recoil rope
when pulling it, as this may cause injury.
Move the throttle lever quickly from the idling
position to operation position for starting tamping
action.
Do not move the throttle lever slowly, as this
may cause damage to the clutch or irregular
tamping action.
In cold weather, the rammer can be warmed up
by moving the throttle lever quickly form the
operation position to idling position several times
until the rammer operates smoothly.
