1/3 throttle

Starting a warm engine;

” position 

(button in the upper position)

Air purge bulb:
Press the air purge bulb 
repeatedly until fuel begins to
fl ow through the overfl ow tube
typically after 5 to 10 times.

Notice:

  

In hot conditions the fuel can evapo-
rate out of the carburetor after shut-
ting off the machine.  This results 
in hard starting even if the engine 
is warm.  By using the air purge the 
carburetor is refi lled with fuel.  The 
engine will not get fl ooded by using 
the air purge.

Stopping the engine

Ignition:
Push the stop switch to the “

OFF

” position.

Notice:

 

Always let the engine return to an idle speed for 10 seconds 
before pushing the stop button.  This allows the engine to cool 
down gradually.  This prolongs the life of some engine 
components.  

When starting

Following the procedure for cold and warm engine start;  
- Press the machine body against the ground using your left 
hand (NOTE! Not your foot).  
- Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right 
hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip)
- Quickly and powerfully pull the cord. 

Notice:

Do not release the starter cord from the fully extended 
position.  This can damage the machine.
