ON/STOP SWITCH

The ON/STOP SWITCH is used to stop the en- gine. To stop the engine, move the switch to the STOP position.

PRIMER BUTTON

The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi- nal position.

CHOKE LEVER

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the CLOSE position. Once engine starts, move choke lever to the OPEN position.

THROTTLE ADJUSTER

The THROTTLE ADJUSTER can be used to select the speed of air flow. To avoid holding your finger on the throttle trigger all the time, the required speed can be set with the throttle adjuster. Full throttle is obtained by squeez- ing the throttle trigger and moving the throttle adjuster clockwise until it stops.
