6. Starting / Stopping the engine
Starting with cold engine
Fig. 5
•Switch ignition switch to ”I” position and close (OFF) formula on/off tap .
•Move throttle lock lever to ”Start” position.
Fig. 6a, Type 444
Fig. 6b, Type 450
•Close choke with choke lever.
•Press primer several times until fuel is visible in the primer.
•Place your left hand on the formula tank of the mistblower. Hold the starter handle (Fig. 1.Pos. 7) with your right hand and pull the handle up slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull up firmly and rapidly until the engine ‘fires’.
•Once the engine tries to start, immediately open the
choke and continue to start.
•When the engine runs, use the throttle lever to accelerate to the required engine speed. For continuous use, set the throttle lock lever (Fig. 1, Pos. 18) in the required position for the desired engine speed.
•To return to idling speed, either release the throttle lever or move throttle lock lever down to ”min” position.
Starting with warm engine after short stop
•Leave choke in ”open” position and start engine.
Should the engine refuse to start despite several starting attempts, the combustion chamber is most likely flooded.
In this case we recommend you remove and dry the spark plug (Fig.1, 4). Set the ignition switch to ”stop” and set throttle lock lever (Fig. 1, 18) to full throttle position ”max”. Pull over engine several times, still with spark plug removed. This will ventilate the combustion chamber
Replace spark plug and repeat starting procedure.
Shutting off engine
•Release throttle lever and move throttle lock lever to ”min” position.
•Move ignition switch to ”Stop” position until engine stops.
