STARTING ENGINE
IMPORTANT
1. Rest the unit on a flat, firm place. Keep the cutting

tube.

5. While pulling the throttle lever with the little finger of
your left hand, pull the starter rope briskly.
NOTE
• Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by
releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter
failures.
6. When the engine has started, move the choke lever
gradually downward to open the choke
7. Allow the engine to warm up for a half minute before
starting operation.
NOTE
1. When restarting the engine immediately after stop-
ping it, leave the choke open.
2. Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due
to excess fuel. When the engine fails to start after
several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling
the rope, or remove the spark plug and dry it.
STOPPING ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever and run the engine for half
minute.
2. Shift the ignition switch to the STOP position.
NOTE
• Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine
while pulling the throttle lever.

ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED
• When the engine tends to stop frequently at idling
mode, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
• Engine idling speed: It is normal that the engine
keeps running without the blade rotation, when the
throttle lever is released. When the engine speed is
too high or too slow, readjust the idle set screw.
NOTE
• Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling
speed.
