connects to a starter cord to manually start the |
engine. Pulling starter handle rapidly spins the engine |
crankshaft, cycles the engine, and generates the |
spark necessary for starting the engine. |
D. Primer Button - When pressed, the primer button |
(D, Figure 3) provides initial fuel to help start a cold |
engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice |
will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine. |
E. Throttle Lever - The throttle lever (E, Figure 3) con- |
trols the engine speed. For best overall performance, |
the throttle lever should be set to the FAST position. |
Use the SLOW position only for warming the engine, |
or to help prevent snow/ice |
the unit down for the day. |
F. Engine Key - The Engine Key (F, Figure 3) prevents |
the engine from being started by unauthorized indi- |
viduals. The key must be fully inserted into the key |
slot for the unit to start. The key is also used to stop |
the engine by pulling the key out of the key slot. |
G. Choke Knob - The Choke Knob (G, Figure 3) adjusts |
the air/fuel mixture, and is used to help start a cold |
engine by providing a richer mixture. Once the engine |
is warm and running smoothly, the Choke Knob |
should be set to the off position to provide a normal |
air/fuel mix. |
