ON/STOP SWITCH
The ON/STOP SWITCH is used to stop the en-
gine. To stop the engine, move the switch to the
STOP position.
PRIMER BUTTON
The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the
carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.
This allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button
by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi-
nal position.
CHOKE LEVER
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by
moving the choke lever to the CLOSE position.
Once engine starts, move choke lever to the
OPEN position.
THROTTLE ADJUSTER
The THROTTLE ADJUSTER can be used to
select the speed of air flow. To avoid holding
your finger on the throttle trigger all the time,
the required speed can be set with the throttle
adjuster. Full throttle is obtained by squeez-
ing the throttle trigger and moving the throttle
adjuster clockwise until it stops.

or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
