Refer to Fueling the Unit.
3. Make sure the Start/Stop Engine Control is in the
START [I] position (Fig. 20).
4. Place the choke lever in the FULL choke (A)
position (Fig. 21).

Slide the choke lever directly above the appropriate

5. Fully press and release the primer bulb slowly 10
times until FUEL IS VISIBLE IN THE PRIMER BULB.
If you can’t see fuel in the bulb, press and release the
bulb as many times as it takes before you can see

6. Squeeze the throttle lock-out, then squeeze the
throttle control to the wide open (full throttle) position
(Fig. 22).
7. With the unit in the starting position (Fig. 22) and the
choke in the FULL (A)
position, pull the starter
rope briskly 5 times. If the engine attempts to run
before the fifth pull, proceed to step 8.
8. Move the choke lever to the PARTIAL (B) position
(Fig. 21).
NOTE: The engine will not run in the FULL choke (A)

starts. Run for 15-30 seconds. If the unit fails to start,
return to step 7.

begin operation.
NOTE: If the engine does not start using these
procedures, repeat steps 5 through 11 using
