Allow the engine to warm up before use. When cutting, always use the Hedgetrimmer on full
throttle.
NOTE
Avoid pulling the rope to its full travel or releasing the recoil handle when the recoil rope is
extended. Such actions can cause starter failure.
Hot Engine Starting
•
Set the ignition switch to the START ( I ) position.
•
Check the clear return fuel line. If the line is empty, push the air purge bulb until fuel is
visible in the clear return fuel line.
•
Set the throttle to fast idle as in fig3 previously.
•
Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.
•
If the engine does not start after 5 pulls, use the Cold Start procedure.
Overchoking
Should the engine become flooded due to overchoking, turn the ignition switch off, unscrew the
spark plug, wipe it dry or replace.
Stopping the Engine
Set the engine to idling by releasing the throttle lever.
Set the ignition switch to the off position ‘’O’’ (STOP).
If the engine fails to stop, set the choke lever to the START position to stall the engine; do not use
the machine until the ignition switch is repaired.

starts, then squeeze the throttle briefly to
release the fast idle control and return the
engine to idle.
