RECOMMENDED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxy-
genates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet
clean air standards. Your Talon engine is designed to
operate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for auto-
motive use including oxygenated gasolines.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE
Fill fuel tank with proper gas and oil mixture. See Fuel and
Lubrication. Set unit on ground so that it rests on housing
feet.
1. Pull the trhottle trigger (A). (It will auto lock) Fig. 4A.
2. Prime the carburetor. Pump the primer bulb (C) 10
times (Fig. 4B).
3. Your unit is designed with a 2 position choke (D):
START “ ” and RUN “ ”. Move choke lever to
START “ ” position (Fig. 4C).
4. Grip handle firmly .
5. Pull starter rope out a short way until resistance is felt
(approximately 100mm). Pull starter rope until engine
starts or attempts to run.Once engine starts, warm up
at full throttle for 10 seconds and release throttle.
6. Push down the throttle lock (B), the throttle trigger (A)
will back to the nomal position. (Fig. 4A)
7. Move the choke to RUN “ ” position (Fig. 4E).
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.
• STOPPING THE ENGINE
Emergency Stopping Procedure
. When it is necessary
to stop blower engine immediately, DEPRESS the switch
to stop.
Normal Stopping Method.
For normal stopping, push
down the throttle lock, the throttle trigger will back to the
nomal position and allow engine to return to idle speed.
Then DEPRESS and HOLD the “OFF” switch until the
engine stops completely.
• STARTING A WARM ENGINE
(Engine has been
stopped for no more than 15-20 minutes)
1. Pull starter rope again. Engine should start with ONE or
TWO pulls. If engine fails to start after 6 pulls, repeat
steps 2 through 6 .
2. If engine does not start, or starts and then stops after 5
rope pulls, follow procedure “STARTING A COLD
ENGINE”.
FUEL AND LUBRICATION
WARNING
: Never use straight gasoline in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage
and void the manufacturer’s warranty 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 pre-
mium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines
mixed at a 40:1 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.
