ØInsert ignition key in start switch on engine. Turn engine start switch to START position and
return switch to ON position when engine starts.
ØShould the engine fail to start using the electric starter (dead battery, malfunctioning starter,
etc.) the recoil starter can be used to start the engine. To start the engine using the recoil starter,
switch engine ignition switch to ON position and pull recoil starter until engine starts. After the
engine starts return starter rope handle slowly against the flywheel cover of the engine.
ØAfter engine starts, move choke lever slowly to the OPEN position. Let engine warm up at full
throttle and run smoothly for approximately 5 minutes, before applying load. Failure to permit
engine to warm up will foul spark plugs and cause hard starting and/or loss of power. Avoid start-
ing and stopping engine without warming engine.
ØTo avoid draining the battery, do not leave ignition switch in the ON position when engine stops.
