Note: If the starter handle is pulled repeatedly when the choke lever remains at "CLOSE" position, the engine will not start easily due to
excessive fuel intake.
In case of excessive fuel intake, remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to remove excess fuel. Also, dry the
electrode section of the spark plug.
Caution during operation:
If the throttle lever is opened fully in a no-load operation, the engine rotation is increased to 10,000rpm or more. Never operate the engine at
a higher speed than required and at an approximate speed of 6,000 - 8,500rpm.

Pay attention to the cutter blade which may rotate.
