See Graphic: wc_gr003219, wc_gr002747
3.11.1 Open fuel valve by moving lever down (g1).
Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (i2). If
engine is hot, set choke to open position (i1).
3.11.2 Turn engine switch to “ON” (h2).
3.11.3 Move the throttle lever to the idle position (a1).
Note: Start engine with throttle in the idle position. If the engine is
started when the throttle is not in the idle position, the engine should
not start. This is a feature of the engine control module that prevents
wide open throttle startup.
3.11.4 Pull starter rope (j).
Do not place foot on the ring guard when starting the engine, as severe
injury can occur if foot slips through the ring guard as the blades start
to spin.
Note: If the engine oil is low, the engine will not start. If engine does
not start, check the oil level and add oil as needed.
3.11.5 Open choke as engine warms (i1).
3.11.6 Open throttle (a2) to operate trowel. Adjust blade RPM with throttle
speed to suit conditions.
