Starting Cold Engine
1
Recoil starter: Use short pulls - only 1/2- 2/3 of rope length for starting. Do not allow the rope to snap back in. Always hold the unit firmly.
2
Move throttle lever (A) to IDLE position.
3
Rotate choke (B) to COLD START position.
4
Pump purge bulb (C) until fuel is visible. Pump bulb an additional 4 or 5 times.
5
Pull recoil starter handle (D) until engine fires, or a maximum of 5 pulls.
6
If engine fires and remains running, pull throttle trigger (T model) or advance throttle lever (H model) to automatically return choke to run position, then proceed to engine warm up. If engine fires and dies, proceed to step 6.
7
After engine fires (or 5 pulls), move choke lever back to RUN position, then pull starter handle/ rope until engine starts and runs. Allow unit to warm up at idle for several minutes.
8
Note: If engine does not start with choke in “RUN” position after 5 pulls, move choke to COLD START position, and repeat steps 3- 6.
9
Allow engine to warm up for several minutes before use.
After engine warm-up, move throttle lever gradually to increase engine RPM to desired operating speed.
