4.7 Starting the Machine (RD 7H, RD 7H-S)
See Graphic: wc_gr001338, wc_gr001339, wc_gr001340
4.7.1 Check that the exciter (a) is in the OFF position.
4.7.2 Pull the throttle control (c) up to open engine throttle.
4.7.3 Turn the decompression lever (f) until stop (f1) is reached. In this
position, the automatic decompression system is heard to engage.
4.7.4 Insert the crank (d) into the guide sleeve (b) .
4.7.5 Turn the crank 5 turns to build up pressure for the engine to fire.
4.7.6 Stand alongside the engine, facing the back of the machine (e) and
grasp the tubular grip with both hands.
Do not stand in any other position! Injury may result if the engine
should backfire!
4.7.7 Turn the handle slowly until the pawl engages the rachet, then
increase the turning force to build up speed.
Note: The highest speed must be reached when the decompression
lever (f) returns to the (f0) position.
4.7.8 As soon as the engine has started, pull the starting handle out of the
guide sleeve.
You must hold the tubular grip firmly to maintain contact all the time
between the starting handle and the engine. Maintain turning force
during the entire hand starting operation.
Note: If backfiring occurs when starting the engine because the crank
handle was not turned firmly enough, the brief reverse rotation at the
handle tube separates the link between the crank lug and the driving
dog.
4.7.9 If the engine begins to run backwards after backfiring (smoke emerges
from air cleaner), release the crank handle immediately and stop the
engine.
4.7.10 To restart the engine, wait until it has come to a standstill, then repeat
the starting procedures.
4.7.11 Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before operating machine.
