; CAUTION

While the engine is running, never try to turn the ignition key to the START position.

8.After starting the engine, continue to warm up the engine for about 3 to 10 seconds especially in cold weather.

9.If the buzzer does not stop sounding after the engine has started, shutdown engine immediately and check engine oil level. The buzzer functions as a engine oil level alarm warning device.

Recoil Start

1.Place the throttle lever (Figure 13) in the START position (center).

2.Place the travel lever in the neutral position (center).

3.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 15) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.

4. If the engine does not start, repeat steps 1 through 3.

TRAVELING

CAUTION

Make sure to follow all safety rules referenced in the safety section of this manual before operating compactor. Keep work area clear of debris and other objects that could cause damage to the compactor or bodily harm.

1.Grasp the compactor's hand grip, and move the engine throttle lever (Figure 16) quickly to the fast position.

2.With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine speed should be around 3,600 RPM, therefore engaging the centrifugal clutch.
