Please refer to your engine’s manual for details and troubleshooting. The startup
procedure is the same for all 3 engine options:
1.
Set the engine’s fuel flow valve lever to “ON”.
2.
Set the engine choke to “ON”.
3.
Set the engine’s master switch to “ON”. For the Honda GX160 and Vanguard 6.5
engine options there is a physical ON/OFF switch on the engine. The Honda
GC160 includes the ON/OFF switch on the throttle mechanism (see next step).
4.
Set the throttle to idle. For the Honda GX160 and Vanguard 6.5 engines, this
means setting the throttle lever to minimum. For the Honda GC160, which includes
a shut down switch at the minimum throttle setting, set the throttle lever to the idle
position, about 1/3 away from minimum setting. Observe the throttle lever on the
engine to better judge what position is appropriate.
ALWAYS set the throttle to idle during startup. Failure to do so will cause
the blades to start turning immediately, risking personal injury.
5.
Hold one of the deadman levers inward with your left hand and grab the starter
cord with your right hand. While constantly holding the deadman lever down, firmly
pull the starter cord as directed in your engine’s manual (see Figure 11).
