Starting and Stopping the Engine

WARNING

Do not leave the saw unattended while the engine is running. Do not start, park, or leave the saw unattended on a slope.

CAUTION

∙If the saw has an optional water pump, do not run the saw dry with the water pump switch ON — otherwise the pump impellers will be damaged.

∙In normal operation, do not stop the engine abruptly when hot! Reduce the throttle to idle and allow the engine to run one or two minutes before turning the ignition switch off.

1.Check Oil levels in engine and hydraulic system

2.If water pump option is installed, start water supply to blade.

3.Move the speed control joystick to NEUTRAL position.

4.Set the throttle to ½ open

5.Turn on/off switch to “START” position and at the same time pull out choke cable only sufficient to start the engine. Release choke cable after engine starts. Re-choke if engine tends to stall. When engine starts, release switch to “RUN” position. Allow engine to warm up before applying load.

6.Ensure that water lines are attached and water is flowing to the saw.

7.Set the throttle to the recommended engine RPM to match the recommended blade speed of the attached blade.

8.Lower the blade to the cut depth.

9.Move the joystick FORWARD to advance the cut.

10.When finished cutting, allow the engine to cool down by running at 1000 to 1200 RPM for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how hot the engine has been. This will reduce the chance of engine damage or vapor lock.

WARNING

Make sure the operator knows how to turn the engine off in case of an emergency.

Do not go near rotating parts (blade, belts, pulleys, or wheels) while the saw is running.

To stop the engine, turn the “ON-OFF” switch to the “OFF” position.
