9. STARTING, OPERATION, STOPPING
9-1 Before starting the engine
Check for loose screws and nuts and fill with properly mixed fuel. Place the engine on stable ground with the engine stand (fuel tank) and
the guard resting on the ground.
9-2 To start a cold engine
Fig. 14 Fig. 15 Fig. 16
1. Push the priming pump 5 times. Fig.14
2. Fully close the choke lever. Fig.15
3. Set the switch to the
I
position. Fig. 16
4. Hold the trimmer shaft near the engine firmly and as in Fig. 17 pull the starter strongly.
5. When ignition is heard, reset the choke and pull the starter.
6. Warm up the engine for about 3 minutes.
7. When the engine has started at the initial ignition open the choke lever gradually.
9-3 When the engine has been warmed up
1. Fully open the choke lever.
2. Push the priming pump 5 times. Fig.14.

pushing
the
throttle

4. Set the switch to the
I
position. Fig. 16
5. Hold the trimmer shaft near the engine firmly and as in Fig. 17 pull the starter strongly.
6. If the engine does not start, repeat 9-2, the procedure for starting a cold engine.
CAUTION
1. After starting the engine, accelerate and decelerate the engine several times by opening and
closing the throttle trigger.
2. Air in the carburetor causes poor acceleration or engine stoppage.
3. Re-fuel before the fuel is used up, starting the engine after using all of the fuel is very difficult.
9-4 Operation
After starting the engine, warm it up for about 3 minutes and gradually increase the speed.
9-5 Stopping
Do not suddenly stop the engine when operating at high speeds. Fig. 18
Gradually return the throttle trigger and idle the engine before setting the switch to STOP. Fig.18
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine at high speeds with no load on the cutting attachment,
Especially when the engine is new. When operated at high speeds with no load,
it will accelerate to an excessively high speed that might harm the engine.
9-6 When the engine does not start
If the engine does not start or flames flow back through the muffler even though you have pulled the starter many times, remove and check the
spark plugs.
1. If the spark plugs are dry, no fuel has been fed into the cylinder. Check the fuel pipe and carburetor.
2. Clean or replace the spark plugs if they are wet or dirty.
3. If fuel has overflowed into the crank case, remove the spark plugs, open the throttle and pull the starter 2 or 3 times to remove excess fuel
from the crank case.
