1. To start a cold engine, move the Choke to the
CHOKE position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the Choke in the
RUN position.
2. Slide the Throttle or Speed Control Lever to 1/3 away from
the SLOW position (the “turtle”).
Note:
Some tools have a Speed Control Lever located
elsewhere on the tool which functions the same as the
Throttle. Use the Speed Control Lever in place of the Throttle
when the tool is so equipped.
3. Turn the Engine Switch on.
4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull it
slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the
Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle gently until
resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully and then pull it
quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.
Note:
Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against the
engine. Hold it as it recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.
5. Allow the engine to warm up for a minute then
slowly move the Choke to the RUN position
if it is not already in the RUN position.
Note:
Moving the Choke Lever too fast can stall the engine.
IMPORTANT:
Allow the engine to run at no load for five
minutes with no load after each start-up so that the engine
can stabilize.
6. Adjust the Throttle as needed.
