Choke
OFF ON
FOR MODEL 7920:
Pull the recoil starter handle/rope
(Picture 4A) with a controlled
motion until resistance is felt.
Then give the cord a few brisk
pulls until the engine res. During
cold starting, you may need to
try three or four times before
the engine res. Do not pull the
rope out to end stop and do not
let it snap back into the starter
housing.
FOR MODEL 7924 (Fast starting engine option):
Fast starting system signicantly reduces the effort required
to start the engine. Energy is stored in the starter spring
each time the handle/rope is pulled.
Slowly pull the recoil starter
handle/rope (Picture 4B) to wind
up the spring. You will hear light
clicking and then the sound of the
released spring. Generally during
cold starting, you may need two to
four light pulls before the engine
res.
7. Push the choke button in, all the way, to open the choke.
8. Then pull the starter cord again until engine starts and
runs.
Let the engine warm up two to three minutes before using
NOTE: If engine does not start with choke in “Run” position
after 5 engine engagements, repeat Cold Start instructions.
WARM STARTING
• To start a warm engine, follow the same procedure. The
only exception is that you can leave the choke button in
and you don’t have to pump the primer bulb.
• Before using the tiller, let the engine idle for a minute to
warm up. Before shutting it down, let the engine idle for
two to three minutes to cool down.
2-Cycle Tiller Starting
Never use starting uids as they will cause permanent engine damage. Using them will void the warranty.
Before you use the tiller, read the Safety & Warning rules on pages 5.
2-CYCLE TILLER STARTING
1. Fill the fuel tank with the proper oil/gasoline mixture.
(See previous section.)
2. Hand tighten the gasoline cap just until it’s snug.
3. Place the O/I switch into the I “start/on” position.
(Picture 1)
4. Pull the choke button all the way out, to completely
close the choke. (Picture 2)
5. Locate the purge bulb on the upper right of the
engine, in front of the fuel tank. (See Picture 3) It
sends fuel into the carburetor, for easy starting.
Press the purge bulb until you see fuel ow through
the clear fuel return line. Since you’re starting “cold,”
you may need to press six to eight times. As soon
as fuel starts owing through the clear fuel line, stop
pressing!
NOTE: Don’t press the throttle trigger
during the starting of the engine.
6. Recoil pull starting (Different for each model)
NOTE: DO NOT PULL THE CORD MORE THEN 4 TIMES WHEN THE CHOKE IS CLOSED. OVER PULLING MAY
CAUSE ENGINE FLOODING!
Bear in mind that, when the engine res, it only coughs or sputters, and will not run on choke.
