HOW TO START THE ENGINE
OPERATION
HOW TO STOP THE EDGER
NOTE: DO NOT BE ALARMED; your engine will smoke the
first time it is started. It is burning off the protective coating
that is on the internal engine parts.
NOTE: Make sure engine is level before starting.
IMPORTANT: Before you start the engine, move the edger
to the desired location. Operate the controls several times.
Make sure all controls move freely.
1. Check the oil.
2. Fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline. Make
sure the gasoline is clean. Leaded gasoline will increase
deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
NOTE: Do not use gasohol or methanol. Do not use
premium-unleaded gasoline.
A WARNING
Always use a safety gasoline container. Do not smoke
when adding gasoline to the fuel tank. When inside an
enclosure, do not add gasoline. Before you add
gasoline, stop the engine and let the engine cool for
several m
inu
tes.
3. Make sure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark
plug.
4. Pull the clutch lever all the way back to raise and
disengage the blade
5. Move the throttle control lever all the way to full throttle.
6. Rotate the choke to the CHOKE position. (See Figure
10)
7. Hold the recoil starter handle firmly with your right hand.
8. Hold the edger handle firmly with your left hand, pullinq
the start lever against the handle.
NOTE: The engine will not start if the start lever is not pulled
against the handle.
9. Pull the recoil slowly, until you feel tension in the starter
rope. Then quickly pull the recoil starter handle to
completely unwind the starter rope. DO NOT allow the
starter rope to snap back. Let the starter rope slowly
rewind. If the engine does not start in 5 or 6 tries, see the
instruction in the "Troubleshooting Chart".
10. After the engine starts, wait 2-5 seconds and rotate the
choke back to the RUN position.
11. When the engine is running, move the throttle control
lever forward (SLOW Position) to decrease speed or
rearward (FAST position) to increase speed. During
normal use keep the throttle in the FAST position.
(See Figure 9)
Release the start lever. This will ground the flameout and
stop the engine.
