STARTING A COLD ENGINE
NOTE:
To minimize load on engine during starting and
warm-up, trim excess trimming line to 13cm (Fig. 4A).
1.
Place trimmer on firm flat surface.
2.
Move ignition switch to the “RUN (I)” position (Fig.
4B).
3.
Your unit is designed with a 2 position choke: CLOSE
“
” and OPEN “
”. Move choke lever to CLOSE “
” position(Fig. 4C).
4.
Prime the carburetor. Pump the primer bulb (A) 10
times (Fig. 4D).
5.
Grip handle firmly – depress safety trigger (B) &
throttle trigger (C) to the FULL THROTTLE position
(Fig. 4E).
6.
Pull starter rope out a short way until resistance is felt
(approximately 100mm) (Fig. 4F). A smooth rapid pull
is required for a strong spark. Pull starter rope briskly
4 times.
7.
Once engine starts allow to run for 10 seconds.
8.
Move the choke to OPEN “
” position (Fig. 4G).
NOTE:
If engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer
to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE:
Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling starter
at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eyelet. This
friction will cause the rope to fray and wear more quickly.
Always hold starter handle when rope retracts. Never
allow rope to snap back from extended position. This
could cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the
starter assembly.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION
WARNING
: Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage and void the manufacturer’s warran-
ty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture
that has been stored for over 90 days.
WARNING
: If 2-cycle lubricant other than
Talon Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must
be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines mixed at a 25:1 ratio. Do not use any
2-cycle oil product with a recommended
mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication
is the cause of engine damage, it voids the
manufacturer’s engine warranty for that
occurrence.
WARNING
: Lack of lubrication voids engine
warranty. Gasoline and oil must be mixed at
25:1.
