STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well-

ventilated area outdoors. Carbon monoxide

exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.

WARNING: Avoid accidental starting. Remain

in the starting position when pulling the

starter rope (Fig. 12). The operator and unit

must be in a stable position while starting to

avoid serious personal injury.

Make sure that any Add-On item is installed

correctly and secure before starting the unit.

1. Check the oil level in the crankcase. Refer to

Checking the Oil Level.

2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline.

Refer to Fueling the Unit.

3. Make sure the On/Off Stop Control is in the ON (I)

position (Fig. 10).

NOTE: For cold weather conditions (when the

temperature is below 40°F), flip the Cold Weather

NOT SQUEEZE THE THROTTLE CONTROL. Pull

the starter rope briskly 5 times. If the engine starts to

run before the fifth pull, proceed to step 6. If the

engine does not start, go back to step 4.

NOTE: For cold weather conditions (when the

Start Lever back to the open/up position.

6. Squeeze the throttle control to warm up the engine

for 5 to 10 seconds. In cold weather, let the engine

warm up for 30 to 60 seconds.
