STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The unit uses the INCREDI-PULL™ starting
system with
MAX FIRE IGNITION™, which signifi-
cantly reduces the effort required to start the engine.
You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear
the engine attempt to star
t. 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.
4. With the unit on the ground, hold the top assist handle
and step on the bottom of the frame with foot. (Figure
12)
5. Pull starter rope 4-6 times-if unit does not start move
choke lever to position 2 and pull 4-6 more times
(Fig. 13). Wait 10 sec. after unit starts then move
choke lever to position 3. (Fig.14)
6. Press trigger to run.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated attempts,
refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling
starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eye-
let. This friction will cause the rope to fray and wear more
quickly. Always hold starter handle when rope retracts.
Never allow rope to snap back from extended position.
This could cause rope to snag or fray and also damage
the starter assembly.

perature etc.) your blower may need a slight adjustment
