Starting the engine
Note: The starting procedure for every 2 Stroke Engine will vary slightly depending on
your engine temperature and the ambient temperature.
The following are the recommended starting procedure for COLD conditions.
Cold Start - ambient temperatures ( below 20 deg )
(1) Set the machine down on a hard, level surface
(2) Press the fuel pump primer 10 times
(This is found under the air filter housing)
NOTE: Over priming will not flood the engine
(3) Ensure the 'STOP SWITCH' is set to the 'ON' position
(slide back towards the engine) as shown.
(4) Secure the throttle lever as follows
a. Press throttle release (1)
b. Press throttle lever (2)
c. Press throttle lock (3)
• Let go of the throttle release & throttle lever.
(5) Set the choke lever to the 'COLD' position, (BLUE)
(6) Pull out the starter cord until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cord 2 or 3 times or untill the
engine trys to start.
The engine may start or run for a short period set on cold.
*
Choke can be set to hot while the engine is running.
• Now, set the choke lever to the HOT position, (RED)
• Then tug sharply on the starter cord 2 or 3 times your
trimmer should start
• If the engine fails to start, repeat the process from step (2)
Never allow the starter cord to snap back. This may
damage the machine.
Note: Once the engine has started, always move the choke
lever to the hot start position if the engine slows down, move
the choke lever back to the cold start postion until the engine
runs without the choke.
Repressing the throttle lever will release the throttle lock
from the fixed position.
