The
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not let the recoil cord snap back by itself. This may damage the cord or the recoil starter assembly.
Starter Handle |
|
Misuse of the starter handle can damage the starter. |
|
Do not twist the starter cord around your hand. |
Pull out the handle slowly until the gears mesh. Do not pull out the starter cord completely and do not let go of the starter handle when extended.
Fuel Valve
The fuel valve opens and closes the connection
between the tank and the carburetor. The illustration shows the tank valve closed; to open, turn the lever completely to the right. There is no middle position.
Turn off the valve when the machine is not in use to avoid flooding the carburetor. The fuel valve is combined with a sludge reservoir.
WARNING!
Do not run the engine indoors, in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Engine exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide.
Choke Control
The choke control opens and closes the choke valve in the carburetor. This is only used to start a cold engine.
If the engine is warm, the control should be in the far right position.
If the engine is cold, place the lever completely or partly to the left. Move the lever back to the right once the engine starts. Forgetting the choke is evident if the engine runs roughly and produces black smoke.
This also results in increased fuel consumption.
