OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING

See Figures 8 and 9.

NOTE: The unit is equipped with an automatic choke feature. The starting instructions for this feature are different from units with a manual choke. Be sure to read and follow the starting instructions below.

WARNING

Never start or run the engine inside a closed or poorly ventilated area; breathing exhaust fumes can kill.

TO START A COLD ENGINE:

1.Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface.

2.Push primer bulb 8 to 10 times.

NOTE: Do not squeeze the throttle trigger before engine starts. Squeezing the throttle trigger at this time will prevent the unit from starting.

3.Move the lever to the “COLD START” position. See Figure 9.

4.Pull the starter rope until engine runs.

5.Allow the engine to warm up for 4-10 seconds.

6.Depress the throttle interlock, then squeeze and release the throttle trigger. This allows the choke to automati- cally set to the “WARM START” position. Your unit is now ready for use.

NOTE: The lever will automatically set to the “WARM START” position after the throttle trigger is squeezed for the first time.

TO START A WARM ENGINE:

1.Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface.

2.Choke lever should already be in the “WARM START” position. If not, squeeze and release throttle trigger. Pull the starter rope until unit runs.

TO STOP THE ENGINE:

To stop the engine, depress the switch to the “O” position.
