POWER UNIT
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
Once you are happy that your Multi-Tool has been assembled & fueled correctly, you are now in a position to
start the machine.
During the first 10 hours of work, run the engine at moderate speed.
Place the Power Unit onto the floor, with the fuel tank at its lowest. We recommend you use a concrete or
similar surface to avoid slippage.
Move the ON/OFF switch to the ‘I’ position
(Fig 23).
Move the Choke Lever (CL) left to the Closed position (Towards the cutting blade).
Push the clear Primer Bulb (PB), 5-10 times until the fuel mixture fills the bulb.
Place your left hand on the handle shaft to apply downward pressure.
Pull the Recoil Starter Handle (SH), with a smooth rapid pull for a strong spark, until the engine fires, but
immediately cuts out. (We call this a false start).
Apply downward pressure onto the Safety Trigger (1) and pull up the Trigger (2). This will automatically release
the Choke Lever to the Open position. Release the Safety Trigger and Trigger (3)
Pull the Recoil Starter again, with a smooth rapid pull.
The engine should now start. Allow the engine to run for 10 seconds on normal tick over before pulling the
trigger to increase the engine revs and move the cutting blade.
NOTE
Over choking of the engine, can cause the engine to be difficult to start due to excess fuel. When the engine
fails to start after several attempts, remove the spark plug and dry it with the appropriate material.
