STARTING iNSTRUCTiONS

ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well- 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. 17). To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting.

To avoid serious personal injury, make sure that the blower tube is locked in place or firmly installed.

STARTING iNSTRUCTiONS

COLD START:

1.Check the oil level in the crankcase. Refer to Checking the Oil Level.

Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. Refer to Fueling the Unit.

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. 15). 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 choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 15).

NOTE: The unit should be started in idle. Do not squeeze the trigger while starting (Fig. 16, A).

5.Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 17) and pull the starter rope out until you feel some resistance. This is usually around 2-4 inches. Pull 4 times in smooth and rapid pulls.

NOTE: The unit uses the Incredi=PuIF M starting system with MAX FiRE IGNITION TM, 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 choke lever in Position 2 (Fig. 15).

Pull the starter rope briskly 1 to 4 times to start the engine.

_8. Squeeze the trigger or press down the cruise control and allow the engine to warm up for 30 to 60 seconds.

Place the choke lever in Position 3 (Fig. 15). The unit is ready for use.

;ii IF... the engine does not start, go back to step 3.

iF... the engine fails to start after a few attempts, place the choke lever in Position 3 and pull the starter rope 3 to 8 times in a smooth and rapid manner. The engine should start. If not, repeat.

HOT RESTART: If the unit is already hot; place the choke lever in Position 2, making sure to NOT squeeze the trigger, and follow steps 7 thru 9 above.

Using the Cruise Control

1.Once the engine has started and warmed up, squeeze the trigger to accelerate the unit as needed (Fig. 16, B).

2.For longer periods of operation and to eliminate possible finger fatique, move the cruise control toward the FAST position to incrementally increase or maintain the unit's engine speed (Fig. 16, B). When the cruise control is pressed, the trigger will recede into the handle.

3.To decrease engine speed, move the cruise control to the SLOW position and the trigger will return to idle position (Fig. 16, B).

STOPPING iNSTRUCTiONS

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

2.Press the On/Off Stop Control switch in the OFF (O) position and hold until the engine comes to a complete stop (Fig. 16, A).
