STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the oil level in the crankcase. Refer to
Checking the Oil Level.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline.
Refer to Fueling the Unit.
3. Put the On/Off Stop Control in the ON [
I
] position
(Fig. 10).
4. Place the choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 11).
5. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the
primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 11). If you can’t see
fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many
times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.
6. Hold the throttle and handlebar with one hand and
grab the starter rope with your other hand. Use your
foot to hold down the cultivator (Fig. 12).
NOTE: Tilt the unit back slightly to bring the tines off the
ground when starting.
7. While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter
rope with a smooth and steady pull. Repeat this 5
times.
NOTE: The unit uses the Incredi-Pull™ starting system ,
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.
8. Move the choke lever to Position 2.
9. While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter
rope in the same manner as explained in Step 7. Pull
1 to 3 times to start the engine.
10. Keep the throttle squeezed and allow the engine to
warm up for 15 to 30 seconds.
11. Place the choke lever in Position 3. Release the
throttle control to the idle position and begin
operation.
IF... The engine does not start, repeat Steps 4 - 11.
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, continue pulling
starter rope until the engine starts.
IF WARM... 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.
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release your hand from the throttle control. Allow the
engine to cool down by idling.
2. Put the On/Off Stop Control in the OFF (O) position.
