STARTING AND OPERATING ENGINE
CAUTION: Do not run engine in an enclosed area.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and
poisonous gas that can cause sickness or death.
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible pump damage, do not allow
washer pump to run in bypass (with gun trigger
released) for longer than 3 minutes.
IMPORTANT: During rst two hours of engine operation, engine
may operate at low or erratic RPM as the engine
moving parts break in.
1. Set fuel valve lever (A) right to ON position.
2. Move choke control lever (C) left to “CHOKE” position.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking than a cold

briskly until engine starts.
