4.2.2. Starting with the handle
For preparations to start the engine,
see Chapter 4.2.1.

For correct position to adopt when starting the
engine, see Fig. 20.
Starting with the handle with kick-back
damping (retrofit)
21
– Always hold tubular grip „1“ with both hands.
– Turn the handle slowly until the pawl engages
in the ratchet, then increase turning force to
build up speed. The highest speed must have
been reached when the decompression lever
returns to the „0“ position (compression). As
soon as the engine has started, pull the start-
ing handle out of the guide sleeve.
You must hold the tubular grip firmly to
maintain contact all the time between
the starting handle and the engine. Maintain
turning force during the entire hand starting
operation.
If backfiring occurs when starting the engine be-
cause the crank handle was not turned firmly
enough, the brief reverse rotation at the handle
tube separates the link between crank lug „2“
and driving dog „3“ (Fig. 21).
– If the engine begins to run backwards after
backfiring (smoke emerges from air cleaner),
release the crank handle immediately and stop
the engine (Chapter 4.3.).
– To restart the engine, wait until it has come to
a standstill, then repeat the starting prepara-
tions.
Starting by means of the standard
starting crank
In the countries of the European Union,
starting cranks without kick-back dam-
ping must not be used.
For preparations to start the engine,
see Chapter 4.2.1.
– For correct position to adopt when starting the
engine, see Fig. 20.
