Start and stop
!WARNING!
The complete clutch cover with shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can become loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine from the filling area before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting equipment cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.
Cold engine
IGNITION:
Set the stop switch to the start position.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in the choke position.
AIR PURGE: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be completely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting
procedure as for the cold engine, but do not set the
choke control in the choke
position. The start throttle position is obtained by setting the choke control in the choke position and then returning it to its original position.
Stop
The engine is stopped by switching off the ignition.
!WARNING!
When the engine is started with the choke in the choke or start position the cutting equipment starts to rotate immediately.
Start
Press the machine body against the ground using your left hand (NOTE! Not your foot). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Reset the choke control as soon as the engine fires and repeat until the engine starts. When the engine starts quickly apply full throttle and the start throttle will automatically disengage.
NOTE! Do not pull the starter cord out completely and do not release the starter cord from the fully extended position. This can damage the machine.
