3. Set the Run/Stop switch to "Run" position (Figure 6).
4.Placethe choke lever in the "Full" choke position (Figure7).
5.Grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt.Then pull rapidly one time only to start engine.
•If engine starts,proceed to step 7.
•Ifengine fails to start, proceed to step 6.
6.Move the choke lever to "Half" choke position, and pull recoil handle twice.
•If engine fails to start, repeat steps 4 thru 6.
7.Move choke lever to "Run" position. If engine falters, move choke lever to "Half" choke position until the engine runs smoothly and then to "Run" position.
NOTE: If engine still fails to start after 3 pulls,check for proper oil level in crankcase.This unit is equipped with a Low Oil Shutdown System.Seeengine manual.
