The recoil start mechanism for the Bushranger HT231 involves the following steps:

1. Move the choke lever to the closed position. If the engine is warm, move it to the open position.
2. Set the engine stop switch to the "ON ( | )" position.
3. Grasp the starter grip and slowly pull the starter cord until resistance is felt, then pull it quickly and powerfully.
4. Continue pulling the starter grip until the engine starts.
5. After the engine starts, move the choke lever to the open position.
6. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes to warm up before use.

Notes:
- Do not pull the starter cord out completely.
- Do not release the starter cord from the fully extended position.
- Do not start the engine without the rear handle locked.
