3.3 Starting the machine
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. Fully
press the dead-man handle against the main
handle.
Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: do not use the choke if the engine is
warm or the air temperature is high.
Move the throttle control lever slightly to the
left. Put the engine switch on ON.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel
resistance, then pull briskly.
CAUTION: Do not allow the starter grip to
snap back against the engine. Return it gently
to prevent damage to the starter.
As the engine warms up, gradually move the
choke lever to the OPEN position.
Position the throttle control lever for the
maximum engine speed.
To stop the engine, release the dead-man handle, move the throttle control lever fully to the right,
then turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
CAUTION: when the machine is switched off, the tools will continue turning slowly to complete stop.
Be therefore very careful to avoid injuries.
