Operating the Ignition Switch

1. Turn the ignition key to the Start position (Figure 12).
When the engine starts, release the key.
Important: Do not engage the starter for more
than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to
start, allow a 60 second cool-down period between
attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can
burn out the starter motor.
Note: Additional starting cycles may be required
when starting the engine for the first time after the fuel
system has been completely without fuel.
2. To stop the engine, turn the ignition key to the stop
position.

Using the Fuel-shutoff Valve

The fuel-shutoff valve is located under the hopper. Raise the
hopper to access it.
Close the fuel-shutoff valve for transport, maintenance, and
storage.
Ensure that the fuel-shutoff valve is open when starting the
engine.
