STARTING A COLD ENGINE
NOTE: To minimize load on engine during
starting and warm-up, trim excess cutter line
to 13cm (Fig. 9A).
1. Press ON/OFF switch to the “RUN (I)”
position (Fig.9B).
2. Your unit is designed with a 3 position
choke: FULL CHOKE “ ”, HALF CHOKE
“ ”, and RUN “ ”. Move choke lever to
FULL CHOKE “ ” position (Fig. 9C).
3. Squeeze throttle trigger in full position.
4. Press the primer bulb (A) 10 times (Fig.
9D).
5. Wait 10 sec.
6. A smooth rapid pull is required for a strong
spark. Pull starter rope briskly 6 times
(max) (Fig. 9F)
7. Move choke lever to HALF CHOKE
“ ”position as soon as the engine sounds
as if it is trying to start (Fig. 9G).
8. Pull starter rope again while trigger is in
the full throttle position until engine starts.
(Fig. 9F)
9. Once engine is started, leave the choke
lever in the HALF CHOKE “ ” position for
20 seconds, then move choke lever to
RUN “ ”. If engine does not start, go back
to step 2.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated
attempts, refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out.
Pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to
rub against the eyelet. This friction will cause
the rope to fray and wear more quickly.
Always hold starter handle when rope
retracts. Never allow rope to snap back from
extended position. This could cause rope to
snag or fray and also damage the starter
assembly.
