5 STARTING/STOPPING & USING THE MACHINE
6.1. Engine - Cold start.
6.1.1.
Fill the machine with fuel as described in section 5.
6.1.2.
Turn the power switch (1) to the on position (I).
6.1.3.
Set the machine on a firm and flat surface.
6.1.4.
Press the primer bulb (3) about 8-10 times (petrol will flow into bulb).
6.1.5.
Move the choke lever (2) to the upper (closed)
position.
6.1.6.
Pull the starter rope (4) with a short stroke out until resistance is felt (about
100mm). Then pull firmly and continuously, do not let go of the starter handle
instead let it return slowly.
Always pull the starter rope straight out. The oblique pulling the starter
makes the rope rub against the eyelet. This can lead to fraying or
breaking the starter control rope. Always hold the starter handle firmly
when the rope is withdrawn. Never let the rope fly back into the starter
this could damage the starter.
6.1.7.
Once the machine has started move the choke lever (5) to the lower run
(open) position.
6.1.8.
Before starting work allow the engine to warm up at idle speed for
about ten minutes.

Never leave the machine unattended.
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, refer to troubleshooting
section.
