Starting the engine
Performing preparations
1. Put the machine into an upright position and hold it with one hand.
2. Open the fuel tap.
3. Cold motor: Activate choke.
Warm engine: Deactivate choke.
Hot engine: Activate choke.
4. Press the fuel pump bellows repeatedly until the bellows is completely filled with fuel.
NOTICE
Notes for operation below freezing point
The cold grease in the percussion system may increase the resistance to such an extent
that the centrifugal clutch slips.
Allow the machine to warm up at low engine speed (do not press the gas handle) to
prevent the centrifugal clutch from premature wear.
NOTICE
When starting the engine, move to a position at least 3 m (9.8 ft) from the fueling area.
