Alternative method of starting:
: Hold the rear handle tightly between
your legs, just above the knees.
: Hold the front handle firmly with
your left hand – your thumb should
be under the handle.
: 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.
If the engine is new, pull the starter
several times to prime the fuel system.
