STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

Operate this unit only in a well ventilated area outdoors. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.

Operation

Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever pulling the starting rope. To avoid serious personal injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture. See Section 4, Oil and Fuel.

2.Put the On/Off Stop Control in the START (I) position (Fig. 5-1).

3.Fully press and release primer bulb slowly 5 to 7 times. Fuel should be felt and visible in the bulb (Fig. 5-2). If fuel hasn’t entered the bulb, press three more times, or until it does.

4.Place the choke lever in the START (A) position (Fig. 5-2).

5.With the unit on the ground, squeeze the throttle control and hold. Pull starter rope briskly (Fig. 5-3). Continue pulling until the engine sounds as though it wants to run (normally 2 to 5 pulls).

NOTE: Squeeze the throttle control until the engine has started and warmed up.

7.Pull starter rope briskly 1 to 3 times to start the engine (Fig. 5-3).
