STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with 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. Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Push the choke control back to its original position as
soon as the engine fires, and continue trying to start until
the engine starts.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Stopping
The engine is switched off by moving the stop switch to
the stop position.
If the engine does not stop when stop switch is set to the
stop position, set choke to the choke position (choke is
closed). Contact your service agent.
Running-in
During the first 20 hours, do not run the machine at
maximum capacity for longer periods.
