If the engine is new, pull the starter
several times to prime the fuel system.
Standard versions:
: Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
then give the grip a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time.
Do not pull out the starter rope to its
full length – it might otherwise
break.
: Do not let the starter grip snap back
– guide it slowly into the housing so
that the starter rope can rewind
properly.
Versions with Easy2Start:
: Pull the starter grip slowly and
steadily with your right hand
: Do not pull out the starter rope to its
full length – it might otherwise
break.
: Do not let the starter grip snap back
– guide it slowly and vertically into
the housing so that the starter rope
can rewind properly
When engine begins to fire:
: Move Master Control lever (3) to n
and continue cranking – as soon
as engine runs, immediately blip
the throttle trigger (4) –
the Master Control lever (3) will
move to the “Run” position # (5)
and the engine settles down to idling
speed.
As the chain brake is still engaged,
the engine must be returned to
idling speed immediately – or the
engine and chain brake might
otherwise be damaged.
