NOTE: A plastic dust cap may be found inside the fuel fill opening.
Remove and discard, if present.
Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling.
Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the tank to within 1/2" from the top to provide
space for expansion of fuel.
Make sure to wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Starting The Engine
1.
Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal loop on the end of the
spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark
plug.
2.
Make certain both the auger control and drive control are in the disengaged
(released) position.
3.
Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert ignition key into slot. Make sure it
snaps into place. Do not attempt to turn the key.
NOTE : The engine cannot start without the key is fully inserted into the ignition switch.
Recoil Starter
1.
Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (cold engine start).
NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF position instead of
FULL.
2.
Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making sure to cover vent
hole in the center of the primer when pushing.
NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.
NOTE: Additional priming maybe necessary if the temperature is below -10° Centigrade.
3.
Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the rope out. At the point where it
becomes slightly harder to pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to recoil.
4.
Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke. Do not release the handle and allow
it to snap back. Keep a form hold on the starter handle and allow it to slowly recoil.
5.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the OFF position. If the
engine falters, quickly rotate the choke control back to the FULL position and then slowly into
the OFF position again.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after starting. The engine will not
develop full power until reaching operating temperatures.
Stopping The Engine
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.
To help prevent possible starter freeze-up, proceed as follows:
Recoil Starter
1.
With engine running, pull the starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke
three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound, which is not
harmful to engine.
2.
Move the throttle control to OFF position.
3.
Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.
4.
Wipe all snow and moisture form the area around the engine as well as the area in
and around the drive control several times
