Starting And Stopping
Before Starting The Engine
1. Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the Before Operation
section of this manual.
2. Rest the String Trimmer on the ground.
3. Make sure the trimmer head is clear of any broken
glass, nails, wire, rocks or other debris.
4. Keep all bystanders, children and animals away from
the working area.
Cold Starting Procedure
The carburetors on Toro engines contain a choke system.
To start a “cold” engine properly, perform the following
procedure:
1. Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the carburetor
until fuel can be seen flowing through the fuel return
line to the fuel tank (Figs. 11). (Flowing fuel should be
almost clear, not foamy or full of bubbles.)
2. Move the choke lever to the closed (
) position and
move the stop switch to the “ON” position (Figs. 11
and 12).
3. Lock the throttle trigger in the fast-idle start position,
then pull the starter handle (Figs. 12 and 11).
4. After the engine starts, move the choke lever to the
open (
) position, then squeeze and release the
throttle trigger to allow it to return to the idle position
(Figs. 11 and 12).
If the engine stops running before you move the choke
lever to the open (
) position:
A. Go ahead and open the choke (Fig. 11).
B. Make sure the throttle trigger is set to the fast-idle
start position (Fig. 12).
C. Pull the starter handle until the engine starts (Fig.
and 11).
