STARTING iNSTRUCTiONS
1. Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fueFoii mixture.
See Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
NOTE: There is no need to turn the unit on. The On/Off
Stop Control is in the ON (I) position at all times.
2. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in
: the primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 7). [f you can't
, see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as
q
many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.

TM
Lever towards the primer
: bulb until it clicks and locks into place (Fig, 7).
4. Crouch in the starting position and do not squeeze
the throttle control (Fig. 8). Pull the starter rope out
...... with a controlled and steady motion until the engine
attempts to start. Repeat until the engine starts.
NOTE: The unit uses Spring Assist Starting
TM,
which
significantly reduces the effort required to start the
engine. You must pull the starter rope out far
enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There
is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no
harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this
starting method is vastly different from (and much
easier than) what you may be used to.

and the throttle control for 15 to 30 seconds. This
