4 Turn the off/on engine switch to the on position.
5. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt,
then pull briskly.
6. When the engine starts, open the choke
gradually.
7. The engine should promptly come up to
operating
speed.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against
the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
ELECTRIC STARTING
If the engine is cold and stiff or if the battery is not
fully charged, starting can be made easier by slowly
hand cranking the engine through the compression
stroke before pushing the starter switch. This permits
the starter to gain momentum before the heavy load
of the compression stroke occurs. This minimizes the
drain on the battery and improves the possibility of
starting under such adverse conditions. Always keep
the battery charged, especially during cold weather
operation.
1. Check oil level, refi ll as needed.
2. Turn on the fuel supply by moving the fuel lever
to the “ON” position.
3. Move the choke lever to the “CLOSED” position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in
the “OPEN” position
4. Turn the engine switch to the “on” position
5.. Operating the starter. Rotate the engine switch
briefl y to the START position. The starter life is
improved by using shorter starting cycles with
time to cool off between cranking cycles. Do
not operate the starter more than 5 seconds and
wait at least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again, Repeat cycle if necessary.
6. When the engine starts, release the engine
switch, allowing it to return to the “on” position.
7. Gradually move choke to the open position as
the engine warms up..
6. The engine should promptly come up to
operating
speed.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never permit the choke to remain on after the
engine has run for a short time. It is not necessary to
choke the engine when it is warm. Avoid over-chok-
ing.
STARTING HINTS
1. Cold weather
a. Use the proper oil for the temperature
expected.
b. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade
gasoline is blended to improve starting. Do
not use summer grade gasoline.
2. Hot weather
a. Use the proper oil for the temperature
expected.
b. Use only summer blended gasoline. Using
gasoline left over from winter may cause the
unit to vapor lock.
STOPPING AND STORAGE
1. Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn off the fuel supply valve.
3. Before extended storage (over 30 days) certain
precautions must be taken to ensure the fuel
doesn’t deteriorate and clog the fuel system.
