● If the engine fails to start, release the start
switch, then push it again. Pause a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each cranking should

onds on each attempt.
● If the battery is discharged, pull the recoil starter
to start the engine.

in position (1), the starter (choke) should be
returned to position (2) to warm up the engine.
If the engine is started with the starter (choke)
in position (2), keep the starter (choke) in this
position to warm up the engine.

The engine is warm when it responds quickly to the
