STARTING

To Start Your Tiller for the First Time:

1.Fill the fuel tank with the proper oil/gasoline mixture. (See previous section.)

2.Hand tighten the gasoline cap just until it’s snug.

3.Place the o/I switch into the I “start” position. (Picture 1)

4.Pull the choke button all the way out, to completely close the choke. (Picture 2)

5.Locate the purge bulb on the upper right of the engine, in front of the fuel tank. (See Picture 3) It sends fuel into the carburetor, for easy starting. Press the purge bulb until you see fuel flow through the clear fuel return line. Since you’re starting “cold,” you may need to press six to eight times. As soon as fuel starts flowing through the clear fuel line, stop pressing! (Picture 3)

6.Don’t press the throttle trigger during the starting of the engine.

7.Pull the starter cord (Picture 4) until resistance is felt. Then give the recoil starter cord a few brisk pulls until the engine fires. Note: Pull the starter cord about 12" to 18". During cold starting, you may

need to pull at least three or four times before the engine

fires.

NOTE: When the choke is closed, never pull the cord more than four or five times. Overpulling may cause flooding. Also, bear in mind that, when the engine fires, it only coughs or sputters, and will not run on choke.

8.Push the choke button in, all the way, to open the choke. (Picture 5)

9.Then pull the starter cord again. The engine should start and run. Let the engine warm up two to three minutes before using.

Follow these steps whenever you are starting the engine “cold”, or when the engine has run dry and you have just added fuel.

Remember, always use short, brisk pulls. Don’t give the cord a long, forceful yank. And, do not let the cord snap back into the starter housing.
