Versions with Easy2Start
The Easy2Start stores the energy

there may be a delay of a few seconds
between cranking the engine and it
actually starting.
N Pull the starter grip slowly and
steadily with your right hand and
push down the front handle at the
same time. Do not pull out the

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.
