STARTING AND STOPPING
(1)
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
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 starts. When the
engine starts, return choke control to run position.
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.
NOTE!
Air is released as soon as the engine is started, even
when idling.
When the engine fails to start after several attempts due
to overchocking, open the choke and repeat pulling the
rope.
Set the required engine speed with the throttle control.
