Turn fuel shut-OFF valve to on position.
•
Start engine as follows: cold engine: place throttle control midway between slow and fast positions. Place
choke control into on position. Warm engine: place throttle control midway between slow and fast positions.
Return choke to OFF position as soon as engine starts. A warm engine usually does not require choke on.
•
Retractable start: slowly pull starter handle until just past compression-stop! Return starter handle; firmly pull
straight out to avoid excessive rope wear from starter rope guide.
•
Gradually return choke control to OFF position after engine starts and warms up. Engine/equipment may be
operated during warm up period, but it may be necessary to leave choke partially on until engine warms up.
•
Connection to the power unit: turn control knob to "OFF" position before attaching or disconnecting any
transmission hoses to the power unit or tools. Turn control knob to "on" position to operate attached tools.
• To turn OFF engine, turn the fuel shut OFF valve to OFF position.

if inhaled.
NOTE!
•
Choke position for starting may vary depending upon temperature and other
factors. Once engine is running and warm, turn choke to OFF position.
NOTE!
•
Extend starter cord periodically to check its condition. If cord is frayed have
