METHODS OF STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
――――――――――――――
START
――――――――――――――
1. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” side.
2
．
Turn the choke lever to the fully
CLOSED
position (at the mark).
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the
CLOSED
position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the
OPEN
position.
3. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently.
4
．
When the engine has started, return the choke lever gradually to the fully
OPEN
position (at the mark).
5. Engine revolution speed is adjusted at the optimum condition before shipping from the factory. Customers
can not change it. When it fails to operate properly, connect your dealer and ask them to do the adjustment if
it is necessary.
CAUTION
Before starting the engine, confirm that the area of radius 15 m around the engine is completely evacuated.
Do not operate the engine when any inflammable material (gasoline, volatile chemicals, or others) is present around it.
Driven equipment may start simultaneously with the start of engine. Carefully read the instruction manual of the
equipment and start the engine carefully.
When a class FC oil is used, a larger resistance may be felt when pulling the recoil starter grip under low temperature
condition or at the initial operation at the next season. This is related to the characteristic of the oil and there is no
problem on the engine. Once it started, it will return to the normal condition.
