Cold Starting Procedure
The carburetors on Toro engines contain a choke
system. To start a “cold” engine properly, perform the
following procedure:
1.
Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the
carburetor until fuel can be seen flowing through
the fuel return line to the fuel tank (Fig. 13).
(Flowing fuel should be almost clear, not foamy
or full of bubbles.)
2.
Move the choke lever to the closed (
) position
and move the stop switch to the “ON” position
(Figs. 14 and 15).
3.
Lock the throttle trigger in the fast-idle start
position, then pull the starter handle (Figs. 14
and 15).
4.
After the engine starts, move the choke lever to
the open (
) position, then squeeze and release
the throttle trigger to allow it to return to the idle
position (Figs. 14 and 15).
If the engine stops running before you move the
choke lever to the open (
) position:
A.
Go ahead and open the choke (Fig. 14).
B.
Make sure the throttle trigger is set to the
fast-idle start position (Fig. 15).
C.
Pull the starter handle until the engine starts
(Fig. 14).
