English / USA
Alternative method of starting:
: Hold the rear handle tightly between
your legs, just above the knees.
: Hold the front handle firmly with
your left hand – your thumb should
be under the handle.
: Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope all the way - it might
otherwise break. Do not let the
starter grip snap back – guide it
slowly and vertically into the
housing so that the starter rope can
rewind properly.
If engine is new or after a long out-of-
service period, it may be necessary to
pull the starter rope several times to
prime the fuel system.
When the engine begins to fire:
: Press in the decompression valve
button again.
: Move Master Control lever (4) to n
and continue cranking – as soon
as engine runs, immediately blip
the throttle trigger (5) –
the Master Control lever (4) will
move to the “Run” position # (6)
and the engine will settle down to
idling speed.
.
As the chain brake is still engaged,
the engine must be returned to
idling speed immediately – or the
engine housing and chain brake
might otherwise be damaged.
