9. STARTING THE ENGINE CONTINUED
9.6
Grasp the starter grip (Figure 10) and
slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes
the hardest at a certain position,
corresponding to the compression point.
Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for
starting.

If the engine has started, slowly return
the choke lever (Figure 7) to the OPEN
position. If the engine has not started
repeat steps 1 through 6.

Before the trowel is placed into
operation, run the engine for several
minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises
that would associate with a loose V-belt
cover or component.
9.9
To begin troweling, move the throttle
lever (Figure 11) toward the "FAST"
position.
10. STOPPING THE ENGINE
10.1
Move the throttle lever to the IDLE or
SLOW position (Figure 11) and run the
engine for three minutes at low speed.
10.2
After the engine cools, turn the engine
start/stop switch to the “OFF” position
(Figure 12).
10.3
Close the fuel shut- off valve (Figure
