Starting
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
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. Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.

Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting. Place the
machine on a flat surface. Ensure that the
tube and the hook cannot come into
contact with any object. Make sure no

personal injury. The safety distance is 15
metres.
