• 

Slowly pull the recoil starter handle until engagement of the pawls with the flywheel is felt.

• 

While holding the unit, pull out the starter rope firmly until engine fires (indicated by a ‘cough’    

        

from the engine).

• 

Move the choke lever to the open position.

• 

Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.

• 

Allow the engine to warm up before use.  When cutting, always use the machine on full throttle.

Hot Engine Starting

Set the ignition switch (d) to the start position “I”.
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 closed position to stall the engine; do not use the 
machine until the ignition switch is repaired.
