1. Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 7) in the ON position.
2. Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 8) in the ON
position.
3. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 9) in the OPEN position.

The CLOSED position of the choke
lever enriches the fuel mixture for
starting a COLD engine. The OPEN
position provides the correct fuel
mixture for normal operation after
starting, and for restarting a warm
engine.

4. Place the throttle lever halfway between FAST and SLOW.
This compactor is equipped with a throttle lever (Figure 10)
that is located in the vicinity of the hydraulic pump. This throttle

sponding the compression point. Rewind the rope a little from
that point and pull out sharply.

D O NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to
rewind as soon as possible.
