Starting The Engine - Shindaiwa T282 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Starting the Engine

Engine ignition is controlled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and "O" for OFF or
STOP.
WARNING!
The attachment will operate immediately when the engine starts and could result in loss of control and possible
serious injury. Keep movable parts of the attachment away from objects that could become entangled or thrown.
WARNING!
Never start the engine from the operating position.
1. Slide the ignition switch to the "I" position.
2. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing in the transparent return tube.
The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the
primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.
3. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED position if engine is cold.
4. While holding the outer tube firmly with left hand. Use your other hand to slowly
pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the
engine.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil
starter to the end of the rope travel can damage the starter.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment may rotate when the engine is started!
