Manual Start
1. To start a cold engine, move the Choke to the
START position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the
Choke in the RUN position.
2. Slide the Throttle or Speed Control Lever to 1/3
away from the SLOW position (the “turtle”).
3. Turn the Engine Switch on.
4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull
it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into
the Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle
gently until resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully
and then pull it quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.
Note:
Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against the engine.
Hold it as it recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.
Note:
If engine does not start, check engine oil level.
Engine will not start with low or no engine oil.
5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Then, if the Choke lever is in the START position,
move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.
Note:
Moving the Choke Lever too fast could stall the engine.
IMpORTANT:
Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes with no
load after each start-up so that the engine can stabilize.
6. Adjust the Throttle as needed.
7.
