STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING! Direct-coupled equipment components such as,
but not limited to, blades, impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc.,
must be securely attached before the engine is started to
avoid injury or damage.
1. Move the fuel valve to the ON position.
2. Move the choke level to the CLOSED position if the engine is cold.
The choke is unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.
3. Move the throttle lever away from MIN. position, about 1/3 of way
toward the MAX. position.
4. Push the start button or turn the key to start the engine.
a. If the engine fails to start within 5 seconds, release the button
or and wait at least 10 seconds before attempting to start the
engine again.
b. Attempt to start the engine with the recoil option if unable to
start it with the ignition switch or start button.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
6. Pull the starter handle lightly until you feel resistance, then pull the
starter handle briskly. The engine should turn over and start
running.
Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the engine.
Instead, return the starter grip gently by hand.
7. If the engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN position,
place the throttle in FAST and attempt to start the engine again.
8. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine
warms up.
The engine may make a metallic rapping noise (spark knock, ping)
while running under a heavy load. This is normal. Replace the fuel with
premium quality gasoline if the metallic rapping noise continues under
normal load. Contact a qualified mechanic if the pinging continues as
this may indicate existing engine damage.
