Start And Stop; Control Before Starting - Husqvarna 359.79509 Operator's Manual

START AND STOP
Control before starting
For reasons of safety follow
these recommendations!
Check that the support
flange is not cracked due to
fatigue or due to being
tightened too much.
Discard the support flange
if it is cracked.
• Ensure the locking nut has
not lost its captive force.
The nut lock should have a
locking force of at least 1.5
Nm. The tightening
torque of the locking nut
should be 35-50 Nm.
Check that the trimmer
head and spray guard are
not damaged or cracked.
Replace the trimmer head
or spray guard if they are
exposed to impact or are
cracked.
• Never use the machine
without a guard or spray
guard nor with a defective
guard.
I
Start and stop
Cold engine
IGNITION:
Set the stop switch to the
start position.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in the
choke position.
AIR PURGE:
Press the air purge
diaphragm repeatedly until
fuel begins to fill the
diaphragm. The diaphragm
need not be completely
filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting
procedure as for the cold
engine, but do not set the
choke control in the choke
position. The start throttle
position is obtained by
setting the choke control in
the choke position and then
returning it to its original
position.
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
Start
Press the machine body
against the ground using
your left hand
(NOTE!
Not
your foot). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the
cord with your right hand
until you feel some
resistance (the starter pawls
grip), now quickly and
powerfully pull the cord.
Reset the choke control as
soon as the engine fires and
repeat until the engine starts.
When the engine starts
quickly apply full throttle
and the start throttle will
automatically disengage.
NOTE! Do
not pull the
starter cord out completely
and do not release the starter
cord from the fully extended
position. This can damage
the machine.
