NOTE: The unit uses E-Pull Version 3TM, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly

different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.

6.Place the blue choke lever in Position 2.

7.While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion until the engine starts.

8.Keep the throttle squeezed and allow the engine to warm up for 15 to 30 seconds.

9.Place the blue choke lever in Position 3. The unit is ready for use.

F,,, The engine does not start, go back to step 3.

IF...

__ The engine fails to start after a few attempts, place the blue choke lever in Position 3 and squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope briskly 3 to 8 times. The engine should start. If not, repeat.

IF WARM... If the engine is already warm, make sure the On/Off Stop control is in the ON position and start the unit with the blue choke lever in Position 2. After the unit starts, move the blue choke lever to Position 3.
