Avoid operating the blower with the flexible tube and swivel joint disconnected. That will reduce the cooling air and the engine could be damaged by overheating.

4.To start, hold the top of the blower firmly with your left hand. Pull the starter knob slowly until you feel it engage and then give it a vigorous strong pull. (F14)

IMPORTANT

Never twist the starter cord around your hand.

Avoid pulling the starter rope out to its full extent and allowing the starter rope to snap back. This will prevent premature damage to the starter.

Do not let a person stand near the blower or the exhaust port.

5.Once the engine is running, gradually open the choke if it was set closed, and let the engine run at idle speed for a minute to warm it up.

NOTE

When the engine fails to start after several attempts due to overchoking, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope.

„ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED

The idling speed is set for 2000 rpm at the factory. If it is necessary to adjust the idle speed, use the adjustment screw on the top side of carburetor.
