Operation

Starting Instructions

2.Put the Stop Switch in the START position.

3.Place the choke lever up into the CHOKE/CLOSE position.

4.Fully press and release the primer bulb (air purge diaphragm) 10 times, slowly, until fuel is visible in the primer bulb. 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. The bulb doesn’t have to be completely filled.

4.Press the machine body against the ground using your left hand. Do not use your foot. This is the starting position.

5.Grip the starter handle, and slowly pull out the starter rope with your right hand until you feel some resistance. After you feel resistance, quickly and powerfully pull the starter cord.

6.As soon as the engine fires, reset the choke lever down into the OPEN position. Pull the cord until the engine starts.

7.When the engine starts, quickly move the throttle to the full throttle position.

NOTE: Do not pull the starter rope out completely. Do not suddenly release the starter cord from the fully extended position. These actions could damage the unit.

NOTE: Choking is unnecessary when starting a warm engine. Put the Stop Switch in the ON position, and leave the choke lever in the its original position. Pull the starter rope.

Stopping Instructions

1.Allow the engine to cool down by idling.

2.Put the Stop Switch in the STOP (O) position.

Using the Throttle

Air jet speed is controlled with the throttle. Select the speed that best suits the application. You can set the throttle to the desired / required throttle position by moving the throttle lever up or down. Move it up to blow more air, and move it down to idle.
