3. Pull the choke out to the full “closed” position. A
warm engine will require less choking than a
cold engine.
4. Turn the engine switch to the “on” position
5.. Operating the starter. Rotate the key switch
briefly to the START position. The starter life is
improved by using shorter starting cycles with
time to cool off between cranking cycles. Do
not operate the starter more than 5 seconds and
wait at least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again, Repeat cycle if necessary.
6. When the engine starts, release the key
switch,allowing it to return to the “on” position.
7. Gradually push the choke to the open position as
the engine warms up..
6. The engine should promptly come up to
operating speed.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never permit the choke to remain on after the
engine has run for a short time. It is not necessary
to choke the engine when it is warm. Avoid over-
choking.
STARTING HINTS
1.
Cold weather
a. Use the proper oil for the temperature
expected.
b. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade
gasoline is blended to improve starting. Do
not use summer grade gasoline.
2.
Hot weather
a. Use the proper oil for the temperature
expected.
b. Use only summer blended gasoline. Using
gasoline left over from winter may cause the
unit to vapor lock.
STOPPING AND STORAGE
1. Move the key switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn off the fuel supply valve.
3. Before extended storage (over 30 days) certain
precautions must be taken to ensure the fuel
doesn’t deteriorate and clog the fuel system.
Note:
The use of a fuel additive, such a STA-BIL
or equivalent will minimize the formation of gum
deposits during storage. The additive may be added
to gasoline in the engines fuel tank or to gasoline in
a storage container.
a. Add the fuel stabilizer to the fuel in the tank
and run the unit for 2 minutes to circulate the
stabilizer throughout the fuel system.
b. If you choose to remove the remaining fuel
from the fuel tank, it must be drained into an
approved container.
c. Start the engine and allow it to run until all
the fuel in the carburetor and the fuel lines
has been used up and the engine stops.
Note:
Running the engine to use up the fuel in the
lines and carburetor will still leave a small amount of
fuel in the carburetor. It is best for extended storage
to treat the fuel before draining.

the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Turn the engine switch to
the ON position.
Operate the starter.
Turn the engine switch to the START
position, and hold it there until the
engine starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the engine switch,

Using the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time will overheat the
starter motor and can damage it.
When the engine starts, release the
engine switch, allowing it to return
to the ON position.
Move the throttle lever away from the MIN. position, about 1/3
of the way toward the MAX. position.
Warm up the engine for 2 or 3 minutes.
If the choke knob was pulled to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually push it to the OPEN position as the engine
warms up.
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch
to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the following
procedure. Refer to the instructions provided by the equipment
manufacturer.
Move the throttle lever to the MIN. position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted throttle
control rather than the engine-mounted throttle lever shown
