filled.
Choke:
Set the choke control in the choke position.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Push the choke control back to its original position as
soon as the engine fires, and continue trying to start until
the engine starts.

WARNING! The complete clutch cover
and shaft must be fitted before the
machine is started, otherwise the clutch
can come loose and cause personal
injury.
Always move the machine about 3
metres from the refuelling position
before starting. Place the machine on a
firm surface. Remember that the blades
may start to move when the engine is
started. Make sure the blades cannot
come into contact with any object. Make
sure that no unauthorised persons are in
the working area, otherwise there is a
risk of serious personal injury.
The safety distance is 15 metres.
