Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and
is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the
choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor
and aids in starting the engine.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the engine.
It regulates the speed of the engine and
will shut off the engine when pushed down
completely.
Primer
Depressing the primer forces fuel directly
into the engine’s carburetor to aid in cold-
weather starting.
Oil Fill
Engine oil level can be checked and oil
added through the oil fill.

Read, understand,
and follow all instruc-
tions and warnings
on the machine and
in this manual before

gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable
and the vapors are
explosive. Never fuel
the machine indoors
or while the engine
is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes and
