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.

WARNING!

The attachment will operate immediately when the engine starts and could result in loss of control and possible serious injury. Keep movable parts of the attachment away from objects that could become entangled or thrown.

WARNING!

Never start the engine from the operating position.

1.Slide the ignition switch to the “ON” position.

2.Set the throttle trigger to the “fast idle”:

a.Squeeze the throttle trigger toward the handgrip on the shaft tube.

b.Depress and hold the throttle lock button.

c.While depressing the throttle lock button, release the throttle trigger.

3.Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing in the trans- parent return tube.

IMPORTANT!

The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.

4.Set the choke lever to the CLOSED position if engine is cold.

5.While holding the outer tube firmly with left hand. Use your other hand to slowly pull the recoil starter han- dle 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.

WARNING!

The cutting attachment may move when the engine is started!
