Starting the Engine
N Press the manual fuel pump 
bulb (9) at least five times – even if 
the bulb is already filled with fuel.
N Press in the choke knob (8) and turn 
it to the position that suits the engine 
temperature:
The choke knob must engage in 
position.
Cranking
N Place the unit on the ground: It must 
rest securely on the engine support 
and the deflector.
N If fitted: Remove the transport guard 
from the cutting attachment.
To reduce the risk of accidents, check 
that the cutting attachment is not 
touching the ground of any other 
obstacles.
N Make sure you have a firm footing, 
either standing, stooping or 
kneeling.
N Hold the unit firmly on the ground 
with your left hand and press down 
– do not touch the throttle trigger or 
lockout lever – your thumb should 
be under the fan housing.
NOTICE
Do not stand or kneel on the drive tube.
N Hold the starter grip with your right 
hand.
N Pull the starter grip slowly until you 
feel it engage and then give it a brisk 
strong pull.
NOTICE
Do not pull out the starter rope all the 
way – it might otherwise break.
N Do not let the starter grip snap back. 
Guide it slowly back into the housing 
so that the starter rope can rewind 
properly.
N Continue cranking until the engine 
runs.
