STIHL MS 250 Cranking, Starting the Saw, Versions with manual fuel pump

English

Cranking

143BA020 KN

NPull the starter grip slowly with your right hand until you feel it engage – and then give it a brisk strong pull and push down the front handle at the same time. Do not pull out the starter rope to full length – it might otherwise break. Do not let the starter grip snap back. Guide it slowly back into the housing so that the starter rope can rewind properly.

Machines without additional manual fuel pump: If the engine is new or after a long out-of-service period, it may be necessary to pull the starter rope several times to prime the fuel system.
