9.2.3 Cranking
► Place the unit securely on the ground and
make sure that bystanders are well clear of
the nozzle outlet.
► Make sure you have a firm footing: Hold the
unit with your left hand on the housing and put
one foot against the base plate to prevent it
slipping.
► Pull the starter grip slowly with your right hand
until you feel it engage and then give it a brisk
strong pull. Do not pull out the starter rope to
full length – it might otherwise break.
► Do not let the starter grip snap back. Guide it
slowly back into the housing so that the starter
rope can rewind properly.
► Continue cranking until the engine runs.
