IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during stor- age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel sys- tem before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod- ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. See the STORAGE section for addi- tional information.

5.Pull starter rope handle sharply until engine sounds as if it is trying to start, but do not pull rope more than 6 times.

6.As soon as engine sounds as if it is trying to start, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE position.

7.Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls.

NOTE: If the engine doesn’t start after 6 pulls (at the HALF CHOKE position), move the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position and press the primer bulb 6 times. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger and pull the starter rope 2 more times. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the start- er rope until the engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. If the engine still doesn’t start, it is probably flooded. Proceed to

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE.

8.Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10 seconds, then move the choke lever to the OFF CHOKE position. Allow the unit to run for 30 more seconds at OFF CHOKE before releasing the throttle trig- ger.

NOTE: If engine dies with the choke le- ver in the OFF CHOKE position, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the rope until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls.

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

1.Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

2.Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger. Keep throttle trigger fully squeezed until the en- gine runs smoothly.

3.Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls.

4.Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move the choke lever to OFF CHOKE.

NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it is probably flooded.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex- cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded.

If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call 1-800-554-6723.
