STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position. Set the throttle to the start position by moving the choke control to the choke position and then returning it to its original position.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
Starting
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never twist the starter cord around
your hand.
Reset the choke control as soon as the engine fires and repeat until the engine starts. The throttle will automatically disengage from the start setting when you apply more throttle.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.
