Trimmers & Brushcutters

Step 1.
Stop Switch Move stop switch (A) away from the STOP position.

Step 2.
Move choke (B) to Cold Start (closed) position

Step 3.
Pump purge bulb (C) until fuel is visible and flows freely in the clear fuel tank return line. Pump bulb an additional four or five times.

Note: Energy is stored in the starter spring each time the handle/rope is pulled. Generally two to six pulls, using light pulling force, will store enough energy to engage the starter and spin the engine. Do not pull the rope out to end stop.

Step 4.
Lay the unit on a flat area and keep movable attachment parts clear of all obstacles. Firmly grasp throttle handle with left hand and fully depress throttle trigger to wide open position. Gently pull recoil starter handle/rope (D) until engine fires or 2 to 3 engine engagements.

Step 5.
After engine fires, or 2 to 3 engine engagements, move choke lever (B) to the Run position. Firmly grasp throttle handle with left hand and fully depress throttle trigger to wide open position. Gently pull starter handle/rope until engine starts and runs. Release throttle trigger and allow unit to warm up at idle for several minutes

Note: If engine does not start with choke in “RUN” position after two to three pulls, repeat instructions 2 - 5.

Step 6.
After engine warm-up, grip throttle handle and support handle. Gradually depress throttle trigger to increase engine RPM to operating speed.
