DO NOT use biodiesel fuel if equipped
with optional diesel engine.
Before starting the engine for the
rst time (or if the fuel tank is empty), ensure the
fuel tank is completely full before starting the diesel
engine. This allows the fuel system to be “bled”
automatically. (Wait two minutes after lling an
empty fuel tank before starting.)
NOTE: The engine manufacturer recommends
operating the engine for the rst time (or
if out of use for six months or longer) at a
slow speed without load for approximately
20 seconds after starting. This ensures
good lubrication of all bearing points before
increasing speed or load.

STOP and START position. (Figure 4-4)
NOTE: The STOP position is left; the START position
is right.
3. Grasp the recoil starter grip until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly, cranking the engine. Return the
starter grip gently back to its place.
NOTE: If the exhaust emits white smoke, especially
after several failed attempts to start the
engine, move the speed controller back to
the STOP position (left)and repeat the start
procedure.
