Starting the Engine

1. To start a cold engine, pull the Choke Knob out to the

START position.

To restart a warm engine, leave the

Choke Knob in the RUN position.

2. Open the Fuel Valve.

3. Put ESC Switch in off position.

5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.

Then, if the Choke Knob is in the CHOKE position,

move the Choke Knob very slowly to its RUN position.

Note: Moving the Choke Knob too

fast could stall the engine.

IMPORTANT: Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes with no

load after each start-up so that the engine can stabilize.

For MANUAL START

A. Turn the Engine Switch to ON.

B. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine

loosely and pull it slowly several times to

allow the gasoline to flow into the

Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter

Handle gently until resistance is felt.

Allow Cable to retract fully and then pull

it quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.

Note: Do not let the Starter Handle snap

back against the engine. Hold it as it

recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.

START

For ELECTRIC START

Turn the Engine Switch to START.

Note: To prolong starter life, use

short starting cycles (5 seconds

maximum). Then wait one minute

before attempting to start again.
