II. Engine With Choke
1. To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, ensure engine is
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
2. Be sure fuel valve (optional) is open and all switches
are on. See Figure 23.
3. Move Equipment Control (see equipment manufac-
turer’s instructions) or Engine Throttle Control to
“FAST” position or “HIGH” position and set Choke Con-
trol to “FULL” position. See Figures 24, 25 and 26.
NOTES
If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown, move
Equipment Control to “FAST” position and Choke Control to
“NO CHOKE” position. See Figures 25 and 26.
Some engines are equipped with an optional Spring Loaded
Throttle Control. This spring loaded control is used to
ensure the throttle will return to engine idle speed if it is
released or if the cable fails. The throttle control must be in
the idle position when starting engine.
