STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Start the engine as follows:
1. Push the engine switch to “ON”.
2. Push the choke lever to the START position.
NOTE:
If the engine is warm or the air temperature is high, closing
the choke is unnecessary.
3. Press the primed pump of the carburetor until gasoline can be seen in
the fuel return tube.
4. Pull slightly the starting rope handle up until you feel resistance, and
then make a rapid pull.
After recoil starting the engine, release the handle slowly, conforming with
its recoiling force.
2. Operation
1. After starting the gasoline engine, place the chock lever in the “RUN”
position for 3-5 minutes at low speed.
2. After warming up the gasoline engine, regulate the throttle lever to
reach the required working RPM or speed.
NOTE:
1. Do not increase the engine load immediately after starting, to avoid
abnormal wear and damage to the engine.
2. Avoid idling at high speed and overrevving.
3. Stop
In an emergency, push the engine switch to “OFF” to stall the engine. For
non-emergency stops, follow this sequence:
1. Decrease the speed of the gasoline engine to idle for 3 ~ 5 minutes at
low speed.
2. Push the engine switch to “OFF”.
NOTE:
Do not perform emergency shutdown when the engine is operat-
ing at high speed with a large load to avoid damaging the engine.
