NOTE: When starting, the EZ-Start™ Lever will automatically
click off when you squeeze the throttle control.

exceeds 90º F and the engine fails to start after 5
pulls, fully squeeze the throttle control and pull the
starter rope briskly 3 to 8 more times. The engine
should start within these pulls.
6. When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle control for
5 to 10 seconds in order to warm up the engine. The
EZ-Start™ Lever will click off automatically (Fig. 7).
NOTE: If the engine stalls before you squeeze the throttle
control, hold the throttle control and pull the
starter rope until the trimmer starts.
NOTE: If the engine stalls while you squeeze the throttle
control, go back and follow steps 4 and 5.
NOTE: To start a warm engine, begin at step 4.
