Operate this unit only in a
well- ventilated outdoor
area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in
a confined area.
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting.
Make sure you are in the
starting position when pulling the starter rope
(Fig. 10).
To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit
must be in a stable position while starting.

1. Mix petrol (gasoline) with oil. Fill fuel tank with
petrol/oil mixture. See Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
2. Put the ignition switch in the START (I) position (Fig. 7).
3. Fully press and release primer bulb slowly 10 times. Fuel
should be felt and visible in the bulb (Fig. 8). If fuel hasn’t
entered the bulb, press three more times, or until it does.
4. Place the choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 8).
NOTE: Tilt the unit back slightly to bring the tines off
the ground when starting.
5. While squeezing the throttle control (Fig. 7), pull the
starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion
1–5 times (Fig. 9).
NOTE: The unit uses Advanced Starting Technology™,
which significantly reduces the effort required to start
the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far
enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no
need to pull the rope briskly — there is no harsh
resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting
method is vastly different from (and much easier than)
what you may be used to.
6. Place the choke lever in Position 2 (Fig. 8).
7. While squeezing the throttle control (Fig. 7), pull the
starter rope with a controlled and steady motion to
start the engine (Fig. 9).
8. Keep the throttle squeezed and allow the engine to
warm up for 15 to 30 seconds.
NOTE: Engine may take longer to warm up and reach
maximum operating speed at colder temperatures.
NOTE: Unit is properly warmed up when engine
accelerates without hesitation.
9. Once the engine is warmed up, place the choke lever
in Position 3 (Fig. 9). Release the throttle control to
the idle position and begin operation.
IF...
the engine hesitates, return choke lever to Position 2
(Fig. 9) and continue warm up.
IF... the engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF... the engine fails to start after a few attempts, place the
choke lever in Position 3 and squeeze the throttle
control. Pull the starter rope 3 to 8 times. The engine
should start. If not, repeat.
IF... If the engine is already warm, make sure the On/Off
Stop control is in the ON position and start the unit
with the choke lever in Position 2. After the unit starts,
move the choke lever to Position 3.
