ENGINE STARTING & STOPPING PROCEDURE
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Place the machine onto a flat, firm surface.
2. Keep the machine clear of any surrounding objects
3. Move the stop switch to "START" position
4. Give a gentle push on the primer pump repeatedly (7-10 times) until fuel comes into the primer pump.
5. Pull the Choke Lever up to close the choke

vigorously, until the engine false starts.

difficult to start.)
