DO NOT attempt to run the compactor
until the Safety and Initial Start-up
sections have been read and understood.
CAUTION
DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end
D O NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it
to rewind as soon as possible.

fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN
position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal
operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine.
