begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the
engine starts. return choke control to run position and
apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage
from the start setting.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
CAUTION! Do not put any part of your body in marked
area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or electrical
shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always
use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark
plug cap.
