Starting the Engine (continued)

position. If the engine stops after the initial start, close the choke and
restart.
WARNING!
Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment
and hot surfaces.
When the Engine Starts...
■
After the engine starts, allow the
engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3
minutes before operating the unit.
If the engine fails to start after several attempts with the choke in the closed position, the engine may be flooded with fuel. If
flooding is suspected, move the choke lever to the open position and repeatedly pull the recoil starter to remove excess fuel
and start the engine. If the engine still fails to start, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
Starting A Flooded Engine
1. Slide the ignition switch to the "I" (ON) position.
2. Open the choke, put the throttle lever in the full throttle position, then
clear excess fuel from the combustion chamber by cranking the engine
several times.
3. If the engine still fails to start or fire, refer to the troubleshooting flow chart
at the end of this manual.

Stopping the Engine

Idle the engine briefly before stopping (about 2 minutes), then slide the ignition
switch to the "O" (Engine OFF) position.
CAUTION!
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to spin after the engine is
stopped or throttle trigger is released. Maintain proper control until the blade
has completely stopped rotating.
When the unit is turned off make sure the cutting attachment has stopped
before the unit is set down.

Squeezing the throttle lever makes the
cutting attachment move faster; releasing
the throttle permits the attachment to stop
moving. If the cutting attachment continues
to move when the engine returns to idle,
carburetor idle speed should be adjusted
(see "Adjusting Engine Idle.")
