Cranking
N 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 the
starter rope to full length – it might
otherwise break. Do not let the
starter grip snap back. Guide it
slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
Machines without additional manual fuel
pump: If the engine is new or after a long
out-of-service period, it may be
necessary to pull the starter rope several
times to prime the fuel system.
