STARTING AND STOPPING
Warm engine
Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position and then
back to its original position. This only engages the start
throttle setting without any choke.
Air purge: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until
fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be
completely filled.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left
hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle,
slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel
some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and
powerfully pull the cord.
Push the choke control back to its original position as soon as
the engine fires, and continue trying to start until the engine
starts. When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle to
automatically disengage the start throttle setting.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by switching the ignition off using the
stop switch.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
