4.9 To Start
See Graphic: wc_gr004384, wc_gr001098
4.9.1 Open fuel valve by moving lever to the right (g1).
Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to closed position (i1). If
engine is hot, set choke to open position (i2).
4.9.2 Turn engine switch to “ON” (h1).
4.9.3 Move the throttle lever to the idle position (c1).
Start engine with throttle in the IDLE position. If the engine is started
when the throttle is not in the IDLE position, the trowel blades may spin
unexpectedly and cause injury.
4.9.4 Squeeze and hold the Operator Present Lever (b).
4.9.5 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.
4.9.6 Open choke as engine warms (i2).
4.9.7 Open throttle (c2) to operate trowel. Adjust blade RPM with throttle
speed to suit conditions.
