II. Engine With Choke and Without Primer Bulb IlL Engine With Choke and Primer Bulb
1. To avoid carbon mono_ddepoisoning,make sure engine
isoutdoorsin a well-ventilatedarea.
2. Move engine throttlecontrolto "CHOKE" or "START"
ifpresent (see equipment manufacturer'sinstructions).
See Figures 7, 9 or 10.
NOTE
If restartinga warm engine after a short shutdown, move en-
gine throttle control to "FAST" iostead of "CHOKE"or"START"
position. See Figures 7, 9 or 10.
3. Operate equipment controlto release engine brake or
clutch, if present (see equipment manufacturer's
instructions).See Figure 10.
_'__ When pullingstarter rope,the ropecan
unexpectedlyjerk back toward engine
causing sedous injury.To avoidthis dsk, carefullyfollow
these instructions:
4. Grasp starter cord handle. See Figure 10.
a. Pullrope out slowly untilyou feel drag.
b. Without allowing the rope to retract, continue
pulling rope with one rapidfull arm stroke.
c. Retum rope slowlyto odginalposition.
NOTE
Following the instructions listed in the steps above avoids
potential damage to the recoil mechanism.
5. If engine fails to start after 3 attempts repeat steps 2
thru4 and try again.
6. When engine starts:
a. Move engine throttle control to "FAST' position.
b. Next, move engine throttle control to desired speed
in "RUN" range.
NOTES
ffengine starts but falters when engine throttle control ismoved
to "FAST" position:
a. Move engine throttle control back to "CHOKE"
position.
b. Next, move engine throttle control to "FAST"
position.
ff engine dies after engine throttle control is moved to "FAST"
position, repeat steps 2 thru 6 to restart engine.
7. If engine fires but does not continueto run, move
engine throttlecontrol to"FAST" positionand start
