Engine Recoil Starter (Figure 3-5,Item I)

The recoil starter is located on the rear of the engine. It is used to "pull-start" the engine.

To use the recoil starter, slowly pull the recoil starter's black plastic handle until you feel some resistance from engine compression. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles in the way, and then rapidly pull the handle. Allow the rope to slowly be pulled back into the recoil starter mechanism. Repeat as necessary until the engine starts.
