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.

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.

- 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.
