HOW TO START THE ENGINE
NOTE: DO NOT BE ALARMED; your engine will
smoke the first time it is started. It is burning off
the protective coating that is on the internal engine
parts.
NOTE: Make sure engine is level before starting.
IMPORTANT: Before you start the engine, move
the edger to the desired location. Operate the
controls several times. Make sure all controls move
freely.
1. Check the oil.
2. Fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded petrol.
Make sure the petrol is clean. Leaded petrol will
increase deposits and shorten the life of the
valves.
NOTE: Do not use gasohol or methanol. Do not
use premium-unleaded petrol.
3. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to the
spark plug.
4. Pull the clutch lever all the way back to raise and
disengage the blade
5. Move the throttle control lever all the way to full
throttle.
6. Slide the choke to the CHOKE position. (See
Figure 10)
7. Hold the recoil starter handle firmly with your
right hand.
8. Hold the edger handle firmly with your left hand,
pulling the start lever against the handle.
THE ENGINE WILL NOT START IF THE
START LEVER IS NOT PULLED AGAINST
THE HANDLE (FIGURE 11).
9. Pull the recoil slowly, until you feel tension in the
starter rope. Then quickly pull the recoil starter
handle to completely unwind the starter rope.
OPERATION
DO NOT allow the starter rope to snap back. Let
the starter rope slowly rewind. If the engine does
not start in 5 or 6 tries, see the instruction in the
“Troubleshooting Chart”.
NOTE: THE START LEVER HAS TO BE
ALWAYS HELD AGAINST THE HANDLE
FOR THE ENGINE TO RUN.
10. After the engine starts, wait 2-5 seconds and
slide the choke back to the RUN position.
11. When the engine is running, move the throttle
control lever forward (SLOW Position) to
decrease speed or backwards (FAST position)
to increase speed. During normal use keep the
throttle in the FAST position. (See Figure 9)
HOW TO STOP THE EDGER
Release the start lever. This will ground the flameout
wires and stop the engine.
WARNING
Never run the engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing away
from any moving parts. Avoid the muffler and
surrounding areas. Temperatures can exceed
150 degrees.
WARNING
Always use a safety petrol container. Do not
smoke when adding petrol to the fuel tank.
When inside an enclosure, do not add petrol.
Before you add petrol, stop the engine and let
the engine cool for several minutes.
