1.Rest the unit on a flat, firm place. Keep the cutting head off the ground and clear of surrounding objects as it will start rotating upon starting of the engine.
2.Push the primer pump several times until overflown fuel flows out in the return tube. (OP1)
3.Move the choke lever to the closed position. (OP2)
(1) | Choke lever | (2) A: the closed position |

5.While holding the unit firmly, pull out the starter rope quickly until engine fires. (OP4)
IMPORTANT
•Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter failures.
