5. Place the unit on flat, firm ground. Make sure that the
cutting head is clear of everything around it, then pull
the starter knob while grasping the main pipe with
the left hand and weighing down the frame with the
right foot.
IMPORTANT

three minutes before starting operation.
IMPORTANT
• Overchoking may make the engine hard to start due
to excess fuel. If the engine fails to start after several
attempts, open the choke and repeatedly pull the rope,
or remove the spark plug and dry it before trying again.
