Starting
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine attempts to start.
Place choke lever to full open position. Pull starter rope
sharply until engine starts. Allow engine to run at fast idle
for 30 seconds.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Air is released as soon as the engine is started, even
when idling. Do not allow anyone to stand close to the
blower or the blower tube.
