STARTING AND STOPPING

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.

CAUTION! Do not put any part of your body in marked area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or electrical shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark plug cap.

For throttle handles with a start throttle lock:

Set the throttle to the start position by first pressing the throttle lockout and the throttle trigger, then pressing the start throttle button (A). Then release the throttle lockout and the throttle trigger, followed by the start throttle button. The throttle function is now activated. To return the engine to idle, press the throttle lockout and throttle trigger again.

PART THROTTLE FUNCTION (RX, RDX):

It is possible to set the engine for part throttle operation using the dial on the side of the throttle handle. Turn the dial up to decrease the part throttle rpm. Turn the dial down to increase the part throttle rpm. When you have set the part throttle rpm you will feel increased resistance when you press the throttle trigger. This increased resistance makes it easier to maintain a constant part throttle setting. To obtain full throttle, press the throttle trigger a little harder so that it goes past the part throttle setting. As soon as you release the throttle trigger the engine will return to idle. The part throttle function does not lock the engine at a given rpm, it is simply a brake that makes it easier to maintain the engine at a given rpm.

Stopping

Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.

CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the start position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug when assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance.
