Starting the engine
DANGER! Risk of re!
> Due to any spilled fuel, the machine can catch re.
> Wipe any spilled fuel up before starting.
> Start the engine a few metres away from the place where you have lled it.
NOTE: Risk of machine damage!
Never twist the starter cord around your hand! Only pull on the handle!
Do not suddenly release the recoil starter handle! Allow the rope to return
slowly and in a controlled manner each time it is pulled!
NOTE: If the engine does not start, the engine may be ooded. Flooding is
caused by too much fuel mixture applied at the wrong time and can prevent a
machine from starting. Follow below procedure:
Remove the spark plug and dry the spark plug. Pull the recoil starter handle
slowly for several times to drain the fuel from the combustion chamber. Wait
until fuel vapours and ret the spark plug. Clean up any spilled fuel and move
the machine at least 3 metres away before starting the engine to avoid any
accidental re. Wait the engine to cool down then cold start or warm start the
machine as described.
Starting cold engine
1. Place the machine on a at and stable surface. The cutting attachment should not
