5. While holding the outer tube firmly with
one hand, slowly pull the recoil starter
handle until resistance is felt, then pull
quickly to start the engine.
3. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be
seen flowing in the transparent return
tube.
4. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED
position if the engine is cold.
Make sure the
cutting head
is clear of
obstructions!
IMPORTANT!
Engine ignition is controlled by a two
position switch mounted on the throttle
housing labeled, “I” for ON or START and
“O” for OFF or STOP.

IMPORTANT!
The primer system only pushes fuel
through the carburetor. Repeatedly
pressing the primer bulb will not flood the
engine with fuel.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end
of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil
starter to the end of the rope travel can
damage the starter.
1. Slide the ignition switch to the “ON”
position. See Figure 23.
2. Set the throttle lever to the “fast idle”
position as follows:

Squeeze the throttle lever toward the
handgrip on the shaft tube.

button.

WARNING!
Never start the engine from the
operating position.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment may rotate
when the engine is started!
When the Engine Starts...
After the engine starts, allow the engine
to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before
operating the unit.
After the engine is warm, pick up
the unit and clip on the harness if so
equipped. See page 17.
Advancing the throttle makes the cut-
ting attachment turn faster; releasing
the throttle permits the attachment to
stop turning. If the cutting attachment
continues to rotate when the engine
returns to idle, carburetor idle speed
should be adjusted (see page 17).
IMPORTANT!
If the engine fails to start after several at-
tempts with the choke in the closed posi-
tion, the engine may be flooded with fuel.
If flooding is suspected, move the choke
lever to the open position and repeatedly
pull the recoil starter to remove excess
fuel and start the engine. If the engine still
fails to start, refer to the troubleshooting
section of this manual.
6. When the engine starts, slowly move the
choke lever to the "OPEN" position. See
Figure 27. (If the engine stops after the
initial start, close the choke and restart.)
Figure 27
Idle the engine briefly before stopping
(about 2 minutes), then slide the ignition
switch to the “O” (engine OFF) position.
