Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Start throttle: (355FX, 355FXT, 355RX, 355FRM)
Set the throttle to the start position by moving the choke
control to the choke position and then returning it to its
original position.
Start throttle: (355RX, 355FRM)
Set the throttle to the start position by first pressing the
throttle lockout and the throttle trigger, then pressing the
start throttle button (A). Then release the throttle lockout
and the throttle trigger, followed by the start throttle
button. The throttle function is now activated. To return the
engine to idle, press the throttle lockout and throttle trigger
again.
Starting
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.
Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the
engine starts. return choke control to run position and
apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage
from the start setting.
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.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
355RX, 355FRM
355FX, 355FXT
Heated handles
355FXT
Models equipped with heating elements in the handles
have an on/off switch on the throttle handle to control the
heat. Both the left and right handles have heating
elements that automatically maintain a temperature of
roughly 70
° when the heat is turned on.
!
WARNING! When the engine is started
with the choke in either the choke or
start throttle positions the cutting
attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
