IGNITION:
Set the stop switch to the start position.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in the choke position.
AIR PURGE:
Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The dia- phragm need not be com- pletely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting proce- dure as for the cold engine, but do not set the choke control in the choke position. The start throttle position is obtained by setting the choke control in the choke position and then returning it to its original position.

!WARNING!
The complete clutch cover with shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can become loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine from the filling position before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Make sure the blade cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure that no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.
Start
Press the machine body against the ground using your left hand (NOTE! Not 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. Reset the choke control as soon as the engine fires and repeat until the engine starts. When the engine starts quickly apply full throttle and the start throttle will automatically disengage.
NOTE! Do not pull the starter cord out completely and do not release the starter cord from the fully extended position. This can damage the machine.
