HELPFUL TIP

If your engine switch reads

“push to stop”, it is always

in the ON position.

HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT

S

To stop the engine, push and hold the STOP

switch in the STOP position until the engine

stops.

S

If engine does not stop, move choke lever

to FULL CHOKE position.

HOW TO START YOUR UNIT

WARNING:

The trimmer head will

turn while starting the engine. Avoid any con-

tact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause

serious burns.

HELPFUL TIP

If your engine still does not

start after following these

instructions, please call

sounds as if it is trying to start, but do not

pull rope more than 6 times.

6. As soon as engine sounds as if it is trying to

start, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE

position.

7. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,

but no more than 6 pulls.

NOTE:

If the engine doesn’t start after 6

pulls (at the HALF CHOKE position),

move the choke lever to the FULL

CHOKE position and press the primer

bulb 6 times. Squeeze and hold the

throttle trigger and pull the starter rope 2

more times. Move the choke lever to the

HALF CHOKE position and pull the start-

er rope until the engine runs, but no more

than 6 pulls. If the engine still doesn’t

start, it is probably flooded. Proceed to

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE.

8. Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10 se-

conds, then move the choke lever to the

RUN position. Allow the unit to run for 30

more seconds at RUN before releasing the

throttle trigger.

NOTE:

If engine dies with the choke le-

ver in the RUN position, move the choke

lever to the HALF CHOKE position and

pull the rope until engine runs, but no

more than 6 pulls.

Keep throttle trigger fully squeezed until

the engine runs smoothly.

3. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,

but no more than 6 pulls.

4. Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then

move the choke lever to the RUN posi-

tion.

NOTE:

If engine has not started, pull starter

rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run,

it is probably flooded.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing

the choke lever in the RUN position; then, pull

the rope to clear the engine of excess fuel.

This could require pulling the starter handle

many times depending on how badly the unit

is flooded. If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to
