1. Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture.
See Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
NOTE: There is no need to turn the unit on. The On/Off
Stop Control is in the ON ( I ) position at all times.
2. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in
the primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 17). If you can’t
see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as
many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.
3. Push the blue EZ-Start™ Lever towards the primer
bulb until it clicks and locks into place (Fig. 17).
4. Crouch in the starting position and do not squeeze
the throttle control (Fig. 18). Pull the starter rope out
with a controlled and steady motion until the engine
attempts to start. Repeat until the engine starts.
NOTE: The unit uses EZ-Pull Version 3™, which
significantly reduces the effort required to start the
engine. You must pull the starter rope out far
enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There
is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no
harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this
starting method is vastly different from (and much
easier than) what you may be used to.
5. When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle lock-out
and then squeeze the throttle control for 15 to 30
seconds. This will warm up the unit. The blue
EZ-Start™ Lever will click off automatically when
you squeeze the throttle control.
IF
...
The engine does not start, go back to step 2.
IF
...
The engine stops while you are squeezing the
throttle, go back to step 3.
IF... The engine stops before you squeeze the throttle
control, hold the throttle control and pull the starter
rope until the trimmer starts.
NOTE: If you are having trouble starting the unit or are
operating in extreme temperatures (below 40º F,
above 90º F), refer to the Troubleshooting section.
