Start position is achieved by moving the stop switch slightly backwards until the stop switch clicks into start position.
It is not allowed to set the stop switch in full throttle position.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Starting
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the engine starts, return choke control to run position.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by moving the stop switch to the stop position.
