operate the gas lever (throttle) on the side of the trolley!
Pull the starter cable out slowly until you feel resistance (piston

Pull starter cable quickly and firmly, until you hear the first

it snap back).

Again pull the starter cable quickly and firmly.
As soon as the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the
safety lock switch (8) will be depressed by the palm of your hand)

Warm starting:
As described above for cold starting, but before starting push
the combination switch (6) up (Choke position) and then right

This is only to engage the half-throttle lock. If the engine doesn't
start after 2 or 3 pulls, repeat the entire starting procedure as
described for cold starting.
Do not leave switch in the choke position when hot
starting!
