Original Instructions Version December 15
Allow the engine to warm up before use. When cutting, always use the Pole Pruner on full
throttle.
Hot Engine Starting
• Set the ignition switch to the START ( I ) position (fig 3 page 22).
• 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.
• Move the choke lever to the closed ( ) position, then back to the open ( )
position. This will set the throttle to the hot start position.
• Pull the starter rope until the engine starts, then squeeze the throttle briefly to release
the fast idle control and return the engine to idle.
• 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 closed position to stall the engine; do not use
the machine until the ignition switch is repaired.
NOTE
