IMPORTANT!
If the engine continues to run with the
throttle lever in the “off” position, stop
the engine by moving the choke control
UP to the fully closed position. Adjust
idle setting as decribed on page 10.
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
Repeat the appropriate starting proce-
dures for “warm” or “cold” engine. If
the engine still will not start, follow the
“Starting a Flooded Engine” procedure
as below:
5. As the starter engages, pull the
starter handle upward rapidly.
6. If necessary, repeat Steps 4 and 5
2–3 times until the engine starts.
CAUTION!
The recoil starter can be damaged
by abuse!
n Never pull the starter cord to its
full length.
n Always engage the starter
before cranking the engine.
Always rewind the starter cord
slowly.
WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS
1. As the engine warms, open the
choke gradually by slowly moving
the choke control down to the fully
OPEN position.
2. Run the engine at idle speed until
operating temperature is reached
(2-3 minutes).
The blower should now be ready
for use.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Cool the engine by allowing it to
run at idle for 2–3 minutes.
2. While squeezing the throttle lock
lever, push and hold the throttle
lever down until the engine stops.
See figure 8.
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead,
and use the spark plug wrench to
remove the spark plug in a coun-
ter-clockwise direction (see the
diagram on page 14).
2. If the spark plug is fouled or is
soaked with fuel, clean or replace
the plug as required.
3. Clear excess fuel from the combus-
tion chamber by cranking the en-
gine several times while the spark
plug is removed.
4. Install and tighten the spark plug,
and reconnect the spark plug lead.
5. Repeat the starting procedures for
“warm engine.”
6. If the engine still fails to start or
fire, refer to the troubleshooting
flow chart at the end of this manual.
