1. Pull the Choke control (Figure 8 on page 23) out to the CHOKE position (leave in the RUN position if
the engine is already warm).
2. Move the Throttle to the FAST or RUN position (Figure 8 on page 23).
3. Turn the Key Switch to ON (Figure 8 on page 23) then to the START position until the engine starts,
then release. The key will snap back to the RUN position and the engine will continue to run.
4. As the engine warms up, slowly adjust the Choke to the Run position. Wait until the engine runs
smoothly before each Choke adjustment. For maximum performance, operate the engine with the
Throttle in the FAST or RUN position with the CHOKE pushed in to the RUN position.
1. Move the Throttle control lever all the way to the SLOW or IDLE position and turn the Key to OFF.
2. Remove the Key for safety. The Key has a pressure lock that prevents it from vibrating loose during
operation. To remove the Key, push it in and then quickly and firmly pull it out. If the Key becomes
difficult to remove, spray FLUID FILM® or a similar non-conductive lubricant into the keyhole.
NOTE: Close the fuel Shut-Off Valve when transporting or storing the DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER.
NEVER STOP THE ENGINE BY MOVING THE CHOKE LEVER TO THE CHOKE POSITION. THIS COULD
CAUSE AN ENGINE BACKFIRE RESULTING IN ENGINE DAMAGE.
