ASSEMBLY
PROCEDURES
Cold Start
(1) Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
(2) Press the fuel pump primer 10 times
(This is found underneath the air filter housing)
(3) Ensure the "STOP SWITCH" is set to the "ON" position ( l ).
(4) Set the choke lever to the "COLD" position.
(5) Pull out the starter cord until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cord 2 or 3 times
*
The engine may start or run for a short period set on cold.
Choke can be set to hot while the engine is running.
• Now, set the choke lever to the "HOT" position.
• If required, tug sharply on the starter cord 2 or 3 times or
until the engine starts.

In cold conditions, the engine may require 5-10 seconds
running at idle. Pulling the trigger during warm-up may
help starting.
• If the engine fails to start, repeat the process from step (3)
Starting the engine
Note: The starting procedure for the engine will vary slightly depending on
your engine temperature and the ambient temperature.
The following is the recommended starting procedure if the engine is
cold
.
A cold engine can be:
- an engine that has not been started for a period of time
- an engine in cold ambient temperatures
Never allow the starter cord to snap back. This may damage
the machine
.
Note
: Adjustment of the choke lever between "HOT" and "COLD"
position may be required during engine warm-up. Engine warm-up
may take several minutes until the engine is running hot and engine
speed is stable.
If the engine slows down or stops, adjusting the choke lever
towards the "COLD" position may be required during warm-up.
Return the choke lever to the "HOT" position, before proceeding
with operating the machine.
