STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

Operate this unit only in a well ventilated area outdoors. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.

Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever pulling the starting rope. To avoid serious personal injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture. See Section 4, Oil and Fuel.

2.Put the On/Off Stop Control in the START (I) position (Fig. 5-1).

3.Fully press and release primer bulb slowly 5 to 7 times. Fuel should be felt and visible in the bulb (Fig. 5-2). If fuel hasn’t entered the bulb, press three more times, or until it does.

4.Place the choke lever in the START (A) position (Fig. 5-2).

5.With the unit on the ground, squeeze the throttle control and hold. Pull starter rope briskly (Fig. 5-3). Continue pulling until the engine sounds as though it wants to run (normally 2 to 5 pulls).

NOTE: Squeeze the throttle control until the engine has started and warmed up.

6.Place the choke lever in the RUN (B) position (Fig. 5-2).

7.Pull starter rope briskly 1 to 3 times to start the engine (Fig. 5-3).

8.If the engine does not start, repeat steps 4 through 7.

NOTE: If the engine floods while trying to start, place the choke lever in the RUN (B) position. Squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope briskly. The engine should start within three (3) to eight (8) pulls.

9.Squeeze the throttle control to warm up engine for 5 to 10 seconds. Place the choke lever in the RUN (B) position (Fig. 5-2).

NOTE: Choking is unnecessary when starting a warm engine. Put the On/Off Stop Control in the START (I) position (Fig. 5-1), and the choke lever in the RUN (B) position (Fig. 5-2).
