15 Starting / Stopping the Engine
15.4 Cranking
► Pull the starter grip slowly with your right hand
until you feel it engage – and then give it a
brisk strong pull and push down the front han‐
dle at the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope to full length – it might otherwise
break. Do not let the starter grip snap back.
Guide it slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
Machines without additional manual fuel pump: If
the engine is new or after a long out-of-service
period, it may be necessary to pull the starter
rope several times to prime the fuel system.
