Starting The Brush Cutter/Strimmer
Once you have assembled and fuelled the strimmer you are able
to start it. To do this you:
1. Open the choke.
2. Switch on the engine using the switch located on right
handle.
3. Put engine into “half throttle mode” by pulling the
throttle lever and pressing in the button on the same
handle. This engages the throttle at half speed.
4. Pump the rubber engine primer bulb until clear fuel is
flowing. See fig 21.
5. Ensuring engine is on firm ground, keep the engine firmly
held down with knee and one hand. Now pull the start
cord firmly.
6. Slowly feed back the starter handle to its original
position.
7. Repeat above until engine has started.
8. Return the choke to its normal position.
9. Use strimmer, when throttle is first engaged the “half
throttle” button resets itself
NOTE: Mastering the throttle is an art that is quickly learnt with
use. The “idling adjustment screw”, fig 22, may need
raising/lowering to adjust the engine idling speed This is also
something that is learnt with usage.
