Starting Warm Engine

1

Stop Switch


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

The attachment should not move at
idle, otherwise serious personal
injury may result.

2

Purge Bulb


Step 2.
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.

3

Recoil Starter


Step 3.
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.

Note: If engine does not start after 5 pulls, use Cold Start Procedure.
