Operation
1. Starting
(1) Make sure that the throttle dial 1 is
set at the position of "Starting/Low
Speed".
(2) Set the main switch to 2
"Operation". When starter motor
starts to operate, turn the 2 switch
further to "Starting". When the recoil
starts to operate, pull the recoil
starter handle as suggested in the
below "Notice in Starting".
(3) The engine then starts.
(Notice)
1. Over fueling might cause difficulty in
engine starting. In that case, please
refer to Trouble Countermeasure on
p.25.
2. In purpose of controlling the pulling
power of recoil starter handle,
the decompression system has
been installed. When you pull
the recoil starter handle lightly
and hear the whoosh sound, it
means the decompression system
is working properly. If you cannot
hear the whoosh sound, press the
clear button on the upper side of
decompression system.
3. Do not pull the recoil starter rope
fully out.
4. Do not start/halt engine repeatedly
without delivering water. There
would be a possible explosion (after-
fire explosion) in muffler caused
by fuel air mixture of imperfect
combustion.
