Operational Procedures

3. Hold handle bar firmly. Pull the starter rope lightly until you
feel resistance, then pull briskly.
NOTE: Do not allow the rope to snap back. Return it by
hand to prevent damage to the starter.
4. If the choke was used to start the engine, move the throttle
lever to the FAST position as soon as the engine warms
up enough to run smoothly without use of the choke.
5. For best engine performance, it is recommended that the
engine be operated with the throttle in the FAST position.
