Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch
to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the following
procedure. Refer to the instructions provided by the equipment
manufacturer.
Move the throttle lever to the MIN. position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted throttle
control rather than the engine-mounted throttle lever shown
here.
Operate the starter.
If the choke lever or choke rod (applicable types) has been
moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine, gradually
move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly in the direction of the arrow as shown below. Return the
starter grip gently.
When the engine starts, release the
key, allowing it to return to the ON
position.
Using the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time will overheat the
starter motor and can damage it.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key, and wait at
least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again.
Turn the key to the START position,
and hold it there until the engine starts.
ELECTRIC STARTER (applicable types):
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine.
Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
