420CC OHV GAS ENGINE WITH ELECTRIC START
V 1.0
CAUTION! Failure to follow the steps below will result in rapid
retraction of the starter cord faster than the user can let go. This
will pull the user’s hand and arm toward the engine, possibly
resulting in an injury.
1. Move the fuel valve (M) to the ON position.
2. Move the choke lever (N) to the CLOSED position if the
engine is cold. The choke is unnecessary when restarting a
warm engine.
3. Move the throttle lever (O) away from MIN. position, about 1/3
of way toward the MAX. position.
4. Manual Start Method.
4.1 Turn the engine switch (E) to the ON position.
4.2 Pull the starter handle (G) lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull the starter handle briskly. The engine should
turn over and start running.
4.3 Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the
engine. Instead, return the starter grip gently by hand.
5. Electric Start Method.
5.1 Attach the battery (see Assembly & Installation -
Connecting the Battery).
5.2 Turn the key to the start position and hold it there until
the engine starts. If engine fails to start within 5 seconds,
release the key and wait at least 10 seconds before
operating the starter again.
6. If the engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN
position, place the throttle in FAST and attempt to start the
engine again.
7. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start
the engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the
engine warms up.
8. Adjust the throttle lever to reach the desired engine speed.
