Starting the Engine

IMPORTANT!

Engine ignition is controlled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and "O" for OFF or STOP.

4.While holding the outer tube firmly with left hand. Use your other hand to slowly pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.

CAUTION!

Do not pull the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel can damage the starter.

IMPORTANT!

If the engine fails to start after several attempts with the choke in the closed position, the engine may be flooded with fuel. If flooding is suspected, move the choke lever to the open position and repeatedly pull the recoil starter to remove excess fuel and start the engine. If the engine still fails to start, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual (Starting a flooded engine).

When the Engine Starts...

■After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before operating the unit.

■After the engine is warm, pick

up the unit and clip on the shoulder strap if so equipped. See page 16.

■Advancing the throttle makes the sweeper belts turn faster; releasing the throttle permits the attachment to stop turning. If the sweeper belts continue to rotate when the engine returns to idle, carburetor idle speed should be adjusted (see the next page).
