while the engine is running.
• When the temperature is below 0 "C (32 "F), run the
engine at medium speed to warm up the lubricant of
the engine and the transmission for at least 1 0
minutes. If the machine is operated before the
lubricant is warm enough, the machine life will be
shortened.
• Do not operate the machine under full load until it is
sufficiently warmed.
• Do not use starting fluid or ether.
• When the ambient temperature is less than -15 "C
(5"F ), remove the battery from the machine and store
it somewhere warm until next operation.

partially on until the engine warms up.

Always push the choke knob in to the "OFF" position after
the engine starts.
