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. 5). To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Mix gas with oil.

2.Fill the fuel tank with the fuel/oil mixture. See Oil

and Fuel Mixing Instructions.

NOTE: There is no need to turn the unit on. The On/Off Stop Control is in the ON ( I ) position at all times (Fig. 3).

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. 4). 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. Push the red EZ-Fire™ lever towards the primer bulb until it clicks and locks into place (Fig. 4).

5.Crouch in the starting position and do not squeeze the throttle control (Fig. 5). Pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion up to 10 times. Repeat until the engine starts.

NOTE: The unit uses the INCREDI-PULL™starting system , 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.When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle control for 15 to 30 seconds. This will warm up the unit.

The red EZ-Fire™ lever will click off automatically when you squeeze the throttle control.

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

IF... The engine stops while you are squeezing the throttle, go back to step 4.

STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
