Operation
Starting the Engine
Always pull the starter cord straight out. Pulling it at an angle will cause it to rub against the
machine, which may damage it and wear it more quickly. • Allow the starter cord to retract slowly –
do not let it "snap" back. This could cause the rope to snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly.
1. Place the engine ON / OFF switch (
A
) in the "ON" ("
I
") position.
2. If the unit is new, has just been re-fuelled or has not been used for a period of time, press the fuel primer
bulb (
B
) repeatedly until it feels firm.
3. Place the choke (
C
) in the most suitable position, depending on engine temperature and ambient
temperature. For cold engines, use
"COLD" and for hot engines, use
"RUN".
4. With the unit on the ground, hold the top handle and step on the bottom frame to steady it. To start the
engine, slowly pull the starter cord until you feel it engage the engine, then pull rapidly. Repeat until the
engine starts. If the engine does not start after more than 4 attempts, reduce the amount of choke and
attempt to start the engine.
5. Once the engine has started, allow it to warm up, gradually reducing choke until it is in the "RUN"
position before using the machine.
If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to
Stopping the Engine
Emergency Stopping Procedure
