flooded. Proceed to STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE.

8.Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10 seconds, then move the choke lever to the OFF CHOKE position. Allow the unit to run for 30 more seconds at OFF CHOKE be- fore releasing the throttle trigger.

NOTE: If engine dies with the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the rope until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls.

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

1.Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

2.Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger. Keep throttle trigger fully squeezed until the engine runs smoothly.

3.Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls.

4.Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move the choke lever to OFF CHOKE.

NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it is probably flooded.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex- cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded.

If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call 1-800-554-6723.

WARNING: Always wear eye protec- tion. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool.

Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
