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.

WARNING!

The attachment will operate immediately when the engine starts and could result in loss of control and possible serious injury. Keep movable parts of the attachment away from objects that could become entangled or thrown.

WARNING!

Never start the engine from the operating position.

1.Slide the ignition switch to the “ON” position.

2.Set the throttle trigger to the “fast idle”:

b.Depress and hold the throttle lock button.

c.While depressing the throttle lock button, release the throttle trigger.

3.Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing in the trans- parent return tube.
