OPERATION 

POWER UNIT 

STARTING A COLD ENGINE 

Once you are happy that your Multicutter has been assembled & fuelled, you are now in a position 
to start the machine. The attachments should not rotate with the engine idling and the throttle 
trigger released. Check the idle screw.  

 

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. 

 

Move the Ignition Switch to the ‘ON’ position. 

 

Move the Choke Lever upwards to the ‘Start’ position. 

 

Push the clear rubber Primer Bulb, 10 times until the fuel mixture fills the bulb. 

 

Squeeze the Safety Lever, the Throttle Lever and push in the Throttle Lock Button with your 
thumb. This will assist you in starting the engine, without you needing to operate the throttle 
assembly, due to it being locked at half throttle. 

 

Place your left hand on the handle shaft to apply downward pressure. 

 

Pull the Recoil Starter, with a smooth rapid pull for a strong spark, 3 times until the engine fires, 
but immediately cuts out. 

 

Move the Choke Lever downwards to the Run position  

 

Pull the Recoil Starter again, with a smooth rapid pull. (Failure to move the Choke Lever to the 
Run position could result in engine flooding) 

 

The engine should now start and it is advisable to squeeze the Safety Lever & Throttle to release 
the throttle lock. 

 

Allow the engine to run for 10 seconds on normal tick over. 

 
STARTING A WARM ENGINE 

 

Place the Power Unit onto the floor, with the fuel tank at its lowest. 

 

Move the Ignition Switch to the ‘ON’ position 

 

Ensure the Choke Lever is downwards in the Run position. 

 

Pull the Recoil Starter again, with a smooth rapid pull. 

 

 

If you experience issues in starting the machine, please go to www.YouTube.com & search 

‘Starting Your Multicutter’ for a step by step video of the starting procedure. 

 

STOPPING THE ENGINE 

 

Release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to idle for a few moments. 

 

Move the ignition switch to the ‘OFF’ position. 

WARNING  

Attachments may continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has stopped.
