WARNING! Never start the en-
gine from the operating position.

When the Engine Starts...

After the engine starts, allow the engine

to warm up at idle or minutes before

operating the unit.

Advancing the throttle makes the cut-

ting attachment turn faster; releasing

the throttle permits the attachment to

stop turning. If the cutting attachment

continues to rotate when the engine

returns to idle, carburetor idle speed

should be adjusted (see “Adjusting

Engine Idle” below).

IMPORTANT!

If the engine fails to start after several at-
tempts with the choke in the closed posi-

tion, the engine may be flooded with fuel.

If flooding is suspected, move the choke
lever to the open position and repeatedly
pull the recoil starter to remove excess
fuel and start the engine. If the engine still
fails to start, refer to the troubleshooting
section of this manual.

7. Operating the throttle will automatically

disengage the fast idle setting.

WARNING!
The cutting attachment may

rotate when the engine is started!

6. When the engine starts, slowly move the

choke lever to the “OPEN” position. See

Figure 1. (If the engine stops after the

initial start, close the choke and restart.)

IMPORTANT!

The primer system only pushes fuel
through the carburetor. Repeatedly

pressing the primer bulb will not flood the
engine with fuel.

5. While holding the outer tube firmly

with left hand. Use your other hand to

slowly pull the recoil starter handle until

resistance is felt, then pull quickly to

start the engine.

Make sure the

cutting attatchment

is clear of

obstructions!

Do not pull the recoil starter to the end
