Manual Start - Predator Engines 79cc Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Manual Start

1. To start a cold engine, move the Choke to the
START position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the Choke in the
RUN position.
2. Slide the Throttle or Speed Control Lever to 1/3
away from the SLOW position (the "turtle").
Note: Some tools have a Speed Control Lever located
elsewhere on the tool which functions the same as the
Throttle. Use the Speed Control Lever in place of the
Throttle when the tool is so equipped.
3. Turn the Engine Switch on.
4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull
it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into
the Engine's carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle
gently until resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully
and then pull it quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.
Note: Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against the engine.
Hold it as it recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.
5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Then, if the Choke lever is in the START position,
move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.
Note: Moving the Choke Lever too
fast could stall the engine.
