WARNING:WARNING:
Rapid retraction (also known as kickback) of the engine recoil starter cord will pull your
hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go of the handle resulting
in sprains, broken bones, lacerations, and/or traumatic amputations. Kickback is often
caused by internal engine failure, and/or improper starting techniques. To avoid kickback
follow the appropriate maintenance schedule, starting instructions and have repair work
done by an authorized service center.
RAPID RETRACTION
NOTE: The starting position of the choke will vary depending on the engine temperature. If
starting a cold engine, move the choke lever towards the CHOKE position. If starting a warm
engine, move the choke lever towards the RUN position.
6B. (Manual start) Pull the recoil slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to start
the engine.
6A. (Electric start) Push the starter button until the engine starts. If the engine does
not start after 5 seconds, release the button and allow the starter motor to cool for one
minute before reattempting to start the engine.
WARNING:WARNING:
Do not try to continuously crank the engine for more than ve seconds at one time. If the
engine fails to start, allow the starter to cool one minute before trying to restart the engine.
Continuously trying to start the engine will damage the starter.
