Important points to remember
When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.
For cold weather starting, start the unit at full choke; allow the engine to warm up before squeezing the throttle trigger.
NOTE: Do not cut material with the choke/ fast idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a warm engine after running out of fuel)
NOTE: In the following steps, when the cho- ke/fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct throttle setting for starting is set au- tomatically.
1.Move ON/STOP switch to the ON position.
2.Pull the choke/fast idle lever out to the full extent.
3.Pull starter rope quickly with your right hand a maximum of 10 times. Then, pro- ceed to the next step.
NOTE: If the engine sounds as if it is trying to start before the 10th pull, stop pulling and immediately proceed to the next step.
4.Push the choke/fast idle lever in com- pletely (to the OFF CHOKE position).
5.Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand until the engine starts.
6.Allow the engine to run for approximately 5 seconds. Then, squeeze and release throttle trigger to allow engine to return to idle speed.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
1.Move ON/STOP switch to the ON position.
2.Pull the choke/fast idle lever out to the full extent; then, push the choke/fast idle lever in completely (to the OFF CHOKE position).
3.Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand until the engine starts.
4.Squeeze and release throttle trigger to allow engine to return to idle speed.
DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Insure the ON/ STOP switch is in the ON position. Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE.
CHAIN BRAKE
WARNING: If the brake band is worn too thin it may break when the chain brake is triggered. With a broken brake band, the chain brake will not stop the chain. The chain brake should be replaced by an authorized service dealer if any part is worn to less than 0.020! (0.5 mm) thick. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an authorized service deal- er. Take your unit to the place of purchase if purchased from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized Husqvarna Service Dealer.
