1. Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture.
See
Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions
.
2. Make sure the On/Off Stop Control is in the
ON
[
I
]
position (Fig. 6).
3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of
fuel should be visible in the
primer bulb
and fuel lines (Fig. 7). If you can’t see
fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many
times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.
4.
Push the red EZ-Fire™ Lever towards the primer
bulb
until it clicks and locks into place (Fig. 7).
NOTE:
The unit uses the
Incredi-Pull™
starting system
with
MAX FIRE IGNITION™
, which significantly
reduces the effort required to start the engine. You
must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear
the engine attempt to start. There is no need to
pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance
when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is
vastly different from (and much easier than) what
you may be used to.
5. Crouch in the starting position and
do not squeeze
the throttle control
(Fig. 8). Pull the starter rope out
with a
controlled and steady motion
up to 10
times, until the engine starts.
6. When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle control
for 15 to 30 seconds. This will warm up the unit. The
red EZ-Fire™
lever will click off automatically when
you squeeze the throttle control.
IF...
The engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF...
The engine stops
while
you are squeezing the
throttle, go back to step 4.
IF...
The engine stops
before
you squeeze the throttle
control, hold the throttle control and pull the starter
rope until the trimmer starts.
NOTE:
If you are having trouble starting the unit or are
operating in extreme temperatures (below 40º F,
above 90º F), refer to the
Troubleshooting
section.
