2.Move the throttle lever (Figure 11) to the idle position.
3.Turn the key to the "Run" position (Figure 12). The buzzer sounds.
4.After "HA" is displayed on the hour tachometer, the display will change immediately to "cumulative time"
5.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 15) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding the compression point. Rewind the rope a little from that point and pull out sharply.
