! ADDITIONAL HAZARDS
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of balance, start the motor with the unit on a flat level
surface, and only pick up the unit when the engine is idling. Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of
serious injury or death. Beware of water left on the walking or work surface.
Exercise care when working in the vicinity of unprotected holes or excavations.
To start the motor, place the unit on a flat level surface, and only pick up the unit when the
engine is idling.
To start the motor, turn the engine switch to the ON position.
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the closed position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN
position.
Press the priming pump several times until a flow in the fuel return
tube is visually noticed.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance while holding the unit
steady, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently.
If the choke lever is in the CLOSED position, gradually move it to the
OPEN position as the engine warms up.
The idle-up function helps the engine start by opening the throttle valve
in the carburettor moderately when the engine won’t start.
1. Hold down the throttle interlock.
2. Pull the throttle trigger.
3. Push the idle-knob, then release the throttle trigger and the interlock.

Always operate the unit at full throttle, when pumping this will ensure correct delivery and
avoid damage to the drive mechanism.
