4) Depress the engine primer system bulb 7 to 10
times to help feed fuel directly into the carburetor.

5) If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is
low, move the choke control lever to the left/closed
position (away from the fuel tank) to deploy the engine
choke mechanism. A warm (previously run) engine
may not require choking. FIGURE 5.
6) Using the right hand, rotate the engine throttle
control to the one half open position. This procedure is
to be followed regardless of the ambient temperature.
7) Using the left hand, pull the engine starter handle
slowly, until resistance is felt. This is the compression
point. Return the starter handle to its original position
and pull swiftly. Do not pull the rope out to its
maximum, extended length. Repeat as necessary for
the engine to start. Allow the starter handle to retract
slowly. If the engine does not start after five pulls, stop
FIGURE 5
and consult the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer.
8) Allow the engine to properly "warm up" and operate
without the requirement for engine choke. As the
engine warms up, move the choke lever up to the
right/open position (toward the fuel tank). In cold
weather, initial starting will require more pulls because
an extremely rich fuel/air mixture is required. Check for
proper centrifugal clutch operation, excessive
transmission noise and/or vibration.
9) Stopping the Hole Digger is accomplished by
releasing the twist grip throttle control to its maximum,
closed (engine idle speed) position and then turning
the engine ON/OFF ignition switch to the OFF position.
The switch is located near the underside of the engine
carburetor.
If the Hole Digger and/or an individual
component/accessory does not appear to be
functioning properly, STOP and do not further
operate the Hole Digger until the corrective action
has been completed. If there are any questions
regarding the proper operation of the Hole Digger,
contact the dealer or the Customer Service
Department for assistance BEFORE further
utilization. There is no charge for this service.
OPERATING THE HOLE DIGGER.
1) Do not attempt to begin digging with the Hole Digger
until the operator is ready to begin the process and is
in full control of the machine.
2) Rotate the twist grip throttle control
counterclockwise to increase the engine speed. The
