4. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
4a. For restarting a warm engine, move the choke lever to
75% of the “CHOKE” position.
Electric Start
5. Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position.
Release as the engine begins to start. If the engine fails to
start within five seconds, release the switch and wait at least
ten seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
CAUTION
If the ignition switch is held down in the “START” position
longer than 5 seconds it could damage the starter.
NOTICE
If the engine is cranked longer than 5 seconds, the engine can
flood and will not start.
6. When engine starts running, move choke lever slowly to the
“RUN” position over a 2-5 second period.
7. Plug in devices.
Manual Start
5. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly.
6. When engine starts running, move choke lever slowly to the
“RUN” position over a 2-5 second period.
7. Plug in devices.
NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the
recoil cord. After first pull, move choke lever to “RUN” position
for up to 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air.
This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient >
86°F (30°C)
, keep choke lever in 75% of the “CHOKE” position
for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, move choke
lever to “RUN” position for up to 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too
much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to
lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
For gasoline starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F
(15°C),
the choke lever must be in 100% of the “CHOKE”
position for recoil cord procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon
as engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position over a 2-5 second duration.
