INSTRUCTIONS FOR STARTING
“COLD STARTING” PROCEDURES: The Choke must be in the “CLOSED” position, and the On/Off switch must be in the “ON”
position. Push primer button until fuel is seen in the fuel line under the carburetor. Pull the starter cord until the engine starts.
Turn the choke to the “OPEN” position once the engine starts.
“WARM STARTING” PROCEDURES: If the engine is warm, the choke is not required. With the choke in the “OPEN” position
and On/Off switch in the “ON” position, pull the starter cord until the engine starts
To STOP the engine, move the On/Off switch to the "OFF" position.
REMINDERS: Speed up the engine to full speed just before making grinder wheel contact. Perform all grinding at full throttle so
as not to slip the clutch. Get ready to throttle down to idle so as not to over speed the engine when it becomes load free.
NOTE! A new grinder must not be run at full throttle with no load until at least 3 full tanks of fuel have been used. This ensures
that the engine will not fail prematurely due to higher loads during the break-in period. After the break-in period the engine will
start reaching maximum horsepower after 5 full tanks of fuel.
GRIP ON HANDLES
1. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
2. Proper grip is important! Maintain a proper grip on the grinder whenever the engine is running and/or the
grinding wheel is rotating. Grasp the BEARING HOUSING with your left hand. With your right hand, grasp
the CARRY HANDLE (foam handle) so you can control the THROTTLE TRIGGER properly as shown below.
GRINDING STANCE: Always keep your weight well balanced when grinding. Since you will exert moderate pressure when grinding,
guard against loss of balance by assuring that you are able to pull the grinder free and clear in the event that the grinding wheel
slips on the work piece.
