overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand
and overflow through the vents in the tank
cap. After refueling, make sure the fuel tank
cap is closed securely. If gasoline is spilled on
the fuel tank, wipe it off immediately.
STARTING
(Fig.1)
• Turn the engine switch on the engine or the
equipment to the ‘T (sta rting) position.
• Move the throttle lever on the equipment to
the fully CLOSED (engine idle speed) position.
• Slowly push the
priming pump several
times until the fuel
comes out of the over-
flow tube (Fig.2).
NOTE: This engine is designed so that over-
flowed fuel due to pushing a priming pump is
to be returned to the fuel tank. There is no fear
of flooding the engine, so push the priming
pump enough times to get the engine started.
Lift up lever type (DG927, DG935 & DG945)
Turn the lift up lever clockwise to switch to the
“STARTING” position (Fig.3).
NOTE: If the throttle lever is squeezed or
locked at half position, the engine won’t start.
Be sure the throttle lever is in the fully CLOSED
position.
Choke lever type (DG953)
• Move the choke lever to the “CLOSED” posi-
tion (Fig.4).
• Move the throttle lever to the half position.
NOTE: When the engine is already warm up, no
lift up lever or choke lever required.
Starter
Pull the recoil starter
grip slowly to engage
the starter, then give a
short, quick pull
NOTICE: Releasing the starting rope sud-
denly may allow the rope to whip around and
cause injury and/or damage the recoil starting
mechanism. When starting the engine, firmly
grasp the recoil starter grip; do not grasp the
starter rope itself. Always control the rope as it
rewinds into the housing.
Lift up lever type (DG927, DG935 & DG945)
Once squeeze the throttle lever to switch the
lift up lever to the “RUNNING” (engine idle
speed) position, and then release the throt-
tle lever back to fu lly “CLOSED’ (engine idle
speed) position (Fig.6).
Choke lever type (DG953)
• After starting, move the
choke lever to the “OPEN”
posit ion gradually.
• If the engine fires only
briefly and stops, move
the choke lever to the
“OPEN” position (Fig.7).
• Repeat the recoil start until the engine start.
WARMING UP
After starting the engine, run the engine at
the idling speed (throttle lever position is fully
CLOSED) for a few minutes.
IMPORTANT: Allow sufficient warm-up
time to prevent engine damage and run the
engine smoothly. The engine should be run
at idle speed for a few minutes to allow it to
warm up before applying a load.
This will allow oil to reach engine parts, and
allow piston clearance to reach design specifi-
cations.
