STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well- ventilated outdoor

area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.

WARNING: Avoid accidental starting. Make sure you are in the

starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 8). To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture. See Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.

2.Make sure the On/Off Stop Control in the ON ( I ) position (Fig. 6).

3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times, slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 7). If you can’t see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.

4.Place the blue choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 7).

5.Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 8) and squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion 5 times.

NOTE: The unit uses EZ-Pull Version 3™, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.

6.Place the blue choke lever in Position 2.

7.While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion until the engine starts.

8.Keep the throttle squeezed and allow the engine to warm up for 15 to 30 seconds.

9.Place the blue choke lever in Position 3. The unit is ready for use.

NOTE: Move the blue choke lever to Position 3 for best engine performance. DO NOT leave the lever in Position 2.

IF... The engine does not start, go back to step 3.

IF... The engine fails to start after a few attempts, place the blue choke lever in Position 3 and squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope 3 to 8 times. The engine should start. If not, repeat.

IF WARM... If the engine is already warm, make sure the On/Off Stop control is in the ON position and start the unit with the blue choke lever in Position 2. After the unit starts, move the blue choke lever to Position 3.

STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Release your hand from the throttle control. Allow the engine to cool down by idling.

2.Put the On/Off Stop Control in the OFF (O) position.
