10.3.1.1 Cold starting:

A “cold” start of the engine means starting it after at least 5 minutes from when it was switched

off or after refueling.

 Starting: Ignition: Press down the “I” side of the engine switch. (Fig. 14)

 Primer bulb: Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb

need not be completely filled. (Fig. 15)

 Choke: Set the choke knob in the choke position. (Fig. 16)

 Throttle lock button: When pressing throttle trigger lock-out and throttle trigger, press the

throttle lock button simultaneously, and then release throttle trigger and throttle trigger

lock-out. (Fig. 17)

The throttle lock will automatically release by pressing the throttle trigger

again. If you manually turn the choke knob from choke position to run

position before releasing the throttle lock button, the cutting attachment

will start to rotate immediately when the engine is started.

 Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your

foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel

some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never

twist the starter cord around your hand. Repeat pulling the cord until engine firing occur.

(Fig. 18)

 Choke: Set the choke knob in the open position. (Fig. 19)

 Repeat pulling the cord until engine start. When the engine starts, allow the engine to

warm up with the throttle lock engaged. Then, pressing throttle trigger to release the

throttle lock. (Fig. 20)

Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the

cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.

Do not put any part of your body in marked area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or

electrical shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always use gloves. Do not use a

machine with damaged spark plug cap.

IMPORTANT If the starter rope is pulled repeatedly with the choke on,

it may flood the engine and make starting difficult.

If you happen to food the engine, repeat the hot start procedure a few times to eliminate any

excess fuel.

10.3.1.2 Hot starting

To hot start the engine immediately after it has stopped, follow steps a – b – d – g of the above

procedure, making sure the primer bulb is activated 2-3 times only.

10.3.1.3 Stopping: (Fig. 21)
