Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT!!
Engine ignition is controlled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, “I” for ON or START and “O” for OFF or STOP.
1.Slide the ignition switch to the “I” position. See Figure 14.
2.Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing in the transparent return tube.
3.Set the choke lever to the CLOSED position if engine is cold.
IMPORTANT!
The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.
4.While holding the outer tube firmly with left hand. Use your other hand to slowly pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel can damage the starter.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment may rotate when the engine is started!
5.When the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the “OPEN” position. See Figure 18. (If the engine stops after the initial start, close the choke and restart.)
