Starting a cold engine
IGNITION:
Slide the stop switch to the
left.
CHOKE:
Pull out the choke.
DECOMPRESSION VALVE
Press in the value to reduce
the pressure in the cylinder,
this makes starting the power
cutter easier. The
decompression valve should
always be used when starting.
When the machine has
started the value automatically
returns to its original position.
FAST IDLE:
Combined choke/fast idle is
received when the choke is
moved to choke position.
Starting a warm
engine
Use the same procedure as
for starting cold engine but
without choke. Fast idle is
recived by first set the choke
control in choke position, and
then back again.
