surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during
operation.
2.
Turn red fuel valve to "On" position.
3.

Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance
is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result
in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm
_,,_
toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
o Whenstartingengine,pull cord slowlyuntil resistance is felt
andthen pull rapidlyto avoidkickback.
o NEVER startor stop enginewith electrical d evicespluggedin

IMPORTANT:if engine floods, place choke lever in "Run"
position and crank until engine starts.
6.
Move choke lever to "Run" position a short distance at a
time over several seconds in warm weather or minutes
in cold weather. Let engine run smoothly before each
change. Operatewith choke in "Run" position.
NOTE:if engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit
shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level
surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase. This unit
may be equipped with a low oil protection device. If so, oil
must be at proper level for engine to start.
