Pre-Start
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to the engine
Operating and Maintenance Instructions for the
correct oil type and checking instructions.
2. Check the fuel level. Operating and Maintenance
Instructions for the fuel recommendation.
3. Check the hydraulic reservoir oil level. The hydraulic
oil should appear in the lower 1/4 of the sight
gauge.

See Hose Connections.
Starting the Power Unit
1. Pull the red bypass valve on the reservoir UP.
2. Set ignition switch to the ON position, and throttle
lever to the START position.
3. Before pulling starter cable, set choke lever to the
CLOSED position if engine is cold, or to HALF
OPEN position if engine is warm.
4. Pull starter cable slowly until some resistance is felt.
Return to starting position, then pull starter cable
out quickly.
Note: If the engine does not start after three attempts,
set choke lever to the OPEN position, to avoid
flooding the engine. Be sure the ignition switch is
in the ON position, and throttle lever is in START
position.
5. After the engine has started, return the choke lever
to the OPEN position, and allow the engine to warm
up for 3-5 minutes without moving the throttle lever.
The efficiency of any hydraulic unit will be reduced
in cold weather if the unit is operated with cold oil.
It is recommended that the power unit be allowed to
warm up before operating any tool.
6. After the engine is warmed up, engine speed can be
controlled by the throttle lever. Move the throttle
lever up, running the engine at full speed.
7. To direct oil to the tool, push the red bypass valve
on the reservoir DOWN.
