Simplicity 6/25 Operation, Walk Behind Vacuum/Shredding, Starting The Engine - Manual Start Units

Starting The Engine - Manual Start Units

1.Move choke lever to full choke position.

2.Move throttle lever to “fast”.

3.Place foot on front wheel to hold unit firmly in place, and adopt a stable stance.

4.Pull starting rope out slowly one time and allow to return normally.

5.Pull starting rope out with a steady pull, and allow rope to return normally.

6.When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to “no choke” position.

7.Maintain throttle speed at ‘fast” for best perfor- mance.

Starting The Engine - Electric Start Units

I. Move choke lever to full choke position.

2.Move throttle lever to “fast”.

3.Turn key to “stall position

4.Release key when engine starts, allowing key to return to “on’ position.

5.When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to “no choke” position.

6.Maintain throttle speed at ‘fast” for best perfor- mance.

Idle Speed

Use the “idle” position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on the engine when chipping or vacuumfshred- ding is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed to “idle” will help extend engine life, as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the equipment.

WALK BEHIND VACUUM/SHREDDING

Normal operator position for power-drive, walk-behind vacuum/shredding is directly behind the unit holding the units handle securely with two hands. This position pro- vides the best combination of unit control, forward and side vrsrbrlrty, and overall operator safety (Figure 2).

Operation

Choke & throttle controls

Figure 1. Typical Choke And Throttle Controls --&Jx-BailALever

Figure 2. Pull Bail Lever Down And Grip Against Handle To Engage Transmission

The powered wheel drive is engaged by pulling the full- width bail lever down where it can be comfortably gripped against the chipper vacuum handle. Releasing the bail stops the forward movement and disengages the transmission, making it easier to turn or maneuver the unit.
