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!

Never start the engine from the operating position.

IMPORTANT!

If the engine fails to start after several at- tempts with the choke in the closed posi- tion, the engine may be flooded with fuel. If flooding is suspected, move the choke lever to the open position and repeatedly pull the recoil starter to remove excess fuel and start the engine. If the engine still fails to start, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

When the Engine Starts...

nAfter the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before operating the unit.

nAdvancing the throttle makes the cut- ting attachment turn faster; releasing the throttle permits the attachment to stop turning. If the cutting attachment continues to rotate when the engine returns to idle, carburetor idle speed should be adjusted (see “Adjusting Engine Idle” on next page).
