Stopping The Engine

1. Move the throttle lever to the

IDLE

or

SLOW

position (Figure

15) and run the engine for three minutes at low speed.

7. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever

(Figure 12) to the

OPEN

position. If the engine has not started

repeat steps 1 through 6.

8. Before the PSH is placed into operation, run the engine for

several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would
associate with a loose V-belt cover or component.

6. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 14) and slowly pull it out. The

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