Starting the engine

Note: Beforestarting thetrimmer, make sure that you have read theentire instruction manual and understood all

thesafety instructions and warnings. Makesure that you understand how thetrimmer works and know how to

use all thecontrols.

Running in the engine

A new engine should be “run in” by using it at low speed and with low resistance for theﬁrst few hours. Thiswill

help all themoving parts of theengine to loosen up and mate together better and will ultimately lengthen

theuseful life of theengine. After it has been run in, theengine will provide maximum performance and can be

operated at full load. However, theengine should only be operated at full throttle for short periods.

Cold engine

1. Press thepriming bulb repeatedly until fuel runs

back down theclear return tube.

2. Move thechoke lever to theclosed position

(upwards).

3. Set theignition switch to ON (I).

4. Lay thetrimmer on theground so that it is supported by thefuel tank and debris shield. Makesure that

thetrimmer head or brush cutter blade is clear of theground and will not contact anything when thetrimmer

is switched on. Note: Neverstart thetrimmer when it is hanging by theharness or if you are holding it in

such away that you might lose control of thetrimmer when it is started.

5. With your left hand, grip thetrimmer just in front of theengine.

6. Gently pull thestarter handle until you feel some resistance. Onceresistance has been met, ﬁnish by

pulling thestarting handle with aquick and powerful motion.

7. Gradually lower thechoke lever as theengine warms up. Lettheengine warm up for afew minutes

after it has been started fromcold.

8. When theengine has warmed up sufﬁciently that it idles smoothly, it is ready foruse.

Note: Thetrimmer head/brush cutter blade should not rotate when theengine is idling. Ifthetrimmer

head/brush cutter blade rotates with theengine idling, theidling speed needs adjusting, refer to

theCare,maintenance and storage - Idle speed adjustment section below.

Warm engine

1. Check that thechoke is completely open.

2. Set theignition switch to ON (I).

3. Lay thetrimmer on theground so that it is supported by thefuel tank and debris shield. Makesure

that thetrimmer head or brush cutter blade are clear of theground and will not contact anything when

thetrimmer is switched on. Note: Neverstart thetrimmer when it is hanging by theharness or if you are

holding it in such away that you might lose control of thetrimmer when it is started.

4. With your left hand, grip thetrimmer just in front of theengine.

5. Gently pull thestarter handle until you feel some resistance. Onceresistance has been met, ﬁnish by pulling

thestarting handle with aquick and powerful motion.
