– Let the cable run back; in this way the entire
length of the starting cable can be used to
start the engine.
– Devices which are not securely fastened
should be restrained with the foot.
12
– Grip the handle with both hands.
13
– Commence pulling the starting cable vigorous-
ly and at an increasing speed (do not jerk it
violently) until the engine starts.
Note:
If after several attempts of starting the exhaust
begins to emit white smoke, move the speed
control lever to the STOP position and pull the
starting cable out slowly 5 times. Repeat the
starting procedure, Chapter 4.2.1.
4.2.3. Recoil start for versions with
electric starter (till -6°C)
The recoil starter at engines with electric start is
an emergency starting device without decom-
pression automatic.
Therefore, attention has to be paid to the exact
starting procedure as mentioned below.
– Prepare the engine for starting;
see Chapter 4.2.1.
– Pull out the handle with the cord slowly until
compression resistance is clearly felt; Fig. 11.
– Continue to pull slowly but with greater force
until the resistance becomes noticeably less
(compression overcome).
– Now let the cord run back - the engine is in
the correct starting position.
In this way the engine can be accelerated
through about one and a half revolutions with
the starting cord, to overcome compression re-
sistance and achieved the required momentum
for starting.
– Support equipment with the foot if it is too
light in weight or liable to tip over.
– Take hold of the handle with both hands;
Fig. 12.
– Pull the starting cord up forcefully and at an
increasing speed (but do not jerk it) - the en-
gine should then start; Fig. 13.
