Always pull starter cord straight out. Pulling the starter at
an angle will cause cord to rub against the eyelet. This
friction will cause the cord to fray and wear more quickly.
Always hold the starter handle when cord retracts. Never
allow cord to snap back from extended position. This
could cause cord to snag or fray and also damage the
starter assembly.
Warm engine
• Set the choke control in the RUN position.
• Then grasp the starter handle with your right hand and
pull the starter cord.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the
start position. In order to prevent unintentional starting,
the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug
when assembling, checking and/or performing
maintenance.
