>CE@<6- Engine is not equipped with its own starting
controls. Use equipment controls to start engine.
1. To start a cold engine, position the choke
at the START position.
To restart a warm engine, position
the choke at the RUN position.
2. Open the fuel valve, if equipped.
3. Slide the throttle or speed control to
1/3 away from the SLOW position.
>&$*- Some tools have speed control located
elsewhere on the tool which functions the same
as the throttle. Use the speed control in place
of the throttle when the tool is so equipped.
4. Engage the start control until the Engine
starts, no more than a few seconds. Release
the start control when the Engine starts.
>&$*- If the engine does not start after
5 seconds, release the start control and wait
at least 10 seconds before trying again.
5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Then, if the choke is in the START position, move
the Choke very slowly to its RUN position.
>&$*- Moving the Choke too fast could stall the engine.
@DXCIE=>E- Allow the engine to run at
no load for five minutes after each start-up
so that the engine can stabilize.
6. Adjust the Throttle as needed.
>&$*- Adjust idle speed with the Idle Screw, located
underneath the Air Cleaner. See Figure V.

Actual idle speed depends on application. Refer
to equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
Running idle speed too low may result in performance
issues, including excessive engine wear.

a. Breaking-in the engine will help to ensure
proper equipment and engine operation.
b. The operational break-in period will last
about 3 hours of use. During this period:
• Do not apply a heavy load to the equipment.
• Do not operate the engine at
its maximum speed.
c. The maintenance break-in period
will last about 20 hours of use.
• Change the engine oil after this period.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent
maintenance follows the schedule explained
in the MAINTENANCE section.

1. To stop the engine in an emergency,
turn the start control to OFF.
2. Under normal conditions, use
the following procedure:
a. Slide the throttle or speed control
to SLOW (the ″turtle”).
b. Turn the start control to OFF.
