Starting the Engine
Note: Your DR Engine has a fixed Throttle position and is equipped with an Auto-
Choke. No Throttle or Choke adjustment is required by the operator.
Manual Start
1. Turn the Key to the “RUN” position (Figure 8).
2. Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull rapidly to overcome engine compression and to prevent kick back to
start the engine (Figure 9).
Note: When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine has run out of fuel,
it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine.
