STOP SWITCH

The STOP switch is used to stop the engine. To stop the engine, push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP position until the engine stops.

THROTTLE TRIGGER

The THROTTLE TRIGGER is used to select the desired engine speed.

PRIMER BUTTON

The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer

pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi- nal position.

START LEVER

The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in starting. Activate the starting system by moving the start lever to the START position. DO NOT squeeze the throttle trigger until the engine has started and runs. After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm--up 10--15 seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger to deactivate the starting system.
