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 –
and then give it a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time.
Do not pull out starter rope to its full
lenght - 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.
If engine is new, pull starter grip several
times to prime the fuel line.
When engine begins to fire:
: Press in decompression valve.
: Move Master Control lever (4) to n
and continue cranking – as soon
as engine runs, immediately blip
the throttle trigger (5)
the Master Control lever (4) will
move to the “Run” position # (6)
and the engine will settle 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.
