4-2 Operation MN2418
Start−Up Procedure
Recoil Start
1. Move the engine’s choke lever to the “Choke/Start” position. If the engine is warm or if
the ambient air temperature is high; try starting the engine without choking it.
2. Move the Control Panel Engine “ON/OFF” switch to “ON” (if equipped).
3. Pull lightly on the recoil grip until you feel significant resistance, then pull sharply. Allow
the recoil to gently rewind into the recoil housing. See your engine manual for
instructions specific to your unit. Do not allow the recoil rope to “snap back” into the
recoil housing.
Note: If the engine does not start after several attempts, smell for fuel near the air cleaner. If
there is a significant gasoline smell coming from the air cleaner, turn the choke lever off
and attempt to start the engine with the choke off.
4. When the engine starts, turn the engine’s choke lever to the “OFF” position.
