Starting & Stopping the Engine
3. Once the engine starts, warm up the engine by pushing and releasing the gas pedal slightly.
4. About 15 seconds after the engine starts, push the choke lever all the way to the left (fully off).
5. If the engine idle is unstable, adjust the choke. The idle will smooth out as the engine gets
warmer. Turn off the choke when idle stabilizes.
High Air Temperature: 95 F (35 C) or above
1. Do not use the choke.
2. Start the engine (Follow step 2 under normal air temperature)
Low Air Temperature: 50 F (10 C) or below
1. Follow steps 1 - 2 under the normal air temperature section.
2. Warm up the engine by pushing and releasing the gas pedal slightly.
3. Continue warming up the engine until it idles smoothly and responds to the gas pedal with the
choke lever moved all the way to the left (in the “off” position).
Notice: Extended use of the choke in the “on” position may impair piston and cylinder wall lubrication and
damage the engine.
