4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle gently until resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully and then pull it quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.

Note: Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against the engine. Hold it as it recoils so it doesn’t hit

the engine.

5.Allow the Engine to run for several seconds. Then, if the Choke lever is in the CHOKE position,

move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.

NOTE: Moving the Choke Lever too fast could stall the engine.

IMPORTANT: Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes with no load after each start‑up so that the engine can stabilize.
