To start the engine:

Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.

Put the on/off switch in the ON position.

Grasp the starter grip with rope and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Give the starter grip with rope a short, brisk pull to start the engine.

NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip with rope to snap back after starting; return it gently to its original place.

CAUTION:

If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter grip with rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water pres- sure before attempting to start the engine again.
