NOTE: Do not depress the throttle while starting.
4. Grasp the starter handle and pull s lowly until the recoil engages,
then pull abruptly to start.
5. If the engine slows or stops, position the choke knob half way in to
allow proper engine warm-up.
6. Apply the brakes and vary the engine R PM slightly with the
throttle to aid in warm-up. When the engine idles smoothly, push
the choke all the way in. NOTE: To prevent excessive wear on
the clutch components, don’t engage the clutch while performing
the warm-up.

Extending the starter rope too far or allowing it to snap back into
the housing will cause damage to the recoil assembly. Do not
