The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain
position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull
the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.

(Figure 15) to the CLOSED position. If the engine has
not started repeat steps 1 through 6.

the engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks,
and noises that would be associated with a loose
component.

1. Grasp the compactor's hand grip (Figure 18), and move
the engine throttle lever quickly to the fast position.
2. With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine
speed should be around 3,600 RPM, therefore
engaging the centrifugal clutch.
