•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
•NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine operator’s manual.
