Starting the engine (continued)
When the motor starts...
Open the choke by moving the 1.
choke lever backward (toward the
fuel tank).
If the engine does not continue to 2.
run, repeat the appropriate crank-
ing procedures for a cold or warm
engine.
When the engine starts, clear 3.
excess fuel from the combustion
chamber by accelerating the engine
several times with the throttle lever.
Operating the throttle will automati-4.
cally disengage the fast idle setting.
If the engine does not start
Repeat the appropriate starting pro- ■
cedure for a cold or warm engine.
If the engine still fails to start,
■
use the procedures for “Starting a
ooded engine.”.
WARNING!
Burn danger from hot engine! Allow engine to cool before remov-
ing cylinder cover.
Started a ooded engine
Slide the ignition switch to the “I” (ON) position1. .
Open the choke, put the throttle trigger in the full throttle position, then 2.
clear excess fuel from the combustion chamber by cranking the engine
several times.
If the engine still fails to start or fire, refer to the troubleshooting flow 3.
chart at the end of this manual.
Ignition OFF (O)
Cool the engine by allowing it to idle 1.
for 2–3 minutes.
Move the ignition switch to the “O” or 2.
STOP position.
Stopping the engine
Squeezing the throttle increases ■
engine speed, causing the clutch to
engage and operate the cutters.
Releasing the throttle decreases
■
engine speed, causing the cutters
to slow, and then stop altogether as
the clutch disengages.
Use a sweeping motion when cut-
■
ting, and vary throttle settings often.
Avoid cutting material larger than
■
1.27 cm in diameter.
