STOP SWITCH
The STOP switch is used to stop the
engine. To stop the engine, push and
hold the STOP switch in the STOP posi-
tion until the engine stops.
THROTTLE TRIGGER
The THROTTLE TRIGGER is used to se-
lect the desired engine speed.
THROTTLE POSITION LEVER
The THROTTLE POSITION LEVER is de-
signed to allow setting engine speed
during blower use only. To avoid caus-
ing damage to the unit, DO NOT at-
tempt to use the throttle position lever
during vacuum use.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the
carburetor and fuel lines and fills them
with fuel. This allows you to start the en-
gine with fewer pulls on the starter rope
handle. Activate primer bulb by pressing
it and allowing it to return to its original
position.
CHOKE LEVER
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the
engine to aid in cold starting. Activate
the choke by moving the choke lever to
the FULL CHOKE (closed) position. After
engine attempts to start, move the
choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
Once engine starts, move choke lever to
the OFF CHOKE (opened) position.
