allow it to cool.

STARTING THE ENGINE
■
WARNING
• Before starting the engine after refueling, move
the machine at least 3 m away from the place
where it was filled.
• Starting the engine where the machine was
filled could cause a fire.
• Do not start the engine indoors or in any place
that is not well ventilated. This could cause
carbon monoxide poisoning that may lead to
injuries.

WARNING
• Always hold the throttle lever in the idle position
when you start or stop the engine or move the
machine. If the throttle lever is placed in any
other position, apart from the idle position, the
blade will begin to rotate, which is dangerous.
• The engine can be started after a delay. Hold on
to the unit until it starts up.
WARNING
• Before starting the engine, check the entire unit
in search of problems, such as a loose handle,
malfunction of the throttle lever, loose blades
and fuel leaks.
• When starting the engine, put the machine on
the floor and hold it down firmly. Given that
the blade might hit the ground or a nearby
object, do not start the engine while holding the
machine with a single hand.
• Do not start the engine while holding the throttle
lever open as the blade will begin to rotate
immediately as soon as the engine starts. When
starting the engine, place the machine on to a
firm, level surface, and keep any objects away
from the blade.
• When starting the engine, keep any objects
away from the machine to ensure that the blade
does not come into contact with the ground.
• If the blade is still spinning even after the
throttle lever has returned to the idle position,
stop the engine and check the throttle cable and
carburetor idle adjustment screw.
• After starting the engine, make sure that the
blade is not moving. If the blade is still moving,
stop the engine and check the throttle cable and
carburetor idle adjustment screw.
• While using the machine, hold on to each of the
handles and keep your eyes on the blade.
• Do not touch the metal section of the engine
body and the muffler while using the machine or
immediately after use; otherwise, you could be
burned.
• Do not touch the spark plug or the connection
wire while using the machine, otherwise you
could receive an electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
If you repeat the operation of starting with the choke
closed, the electrode of the spark plug can become
damp and the engine may not start. If this happens,
open the choke, place the throttle lever in an almost
fully open position and pull the starter cord repeatedly,
or try the start procedure again after removing the
spark plug and drying the electrode.
