fIGuRE E
To start the Engine, using the battery for cranking power, insert the Ignition Key
(19 - page 27) and turn the Engine Ignition (8 - page 27) to its “START” position. If
necessary, repeat this procedure until the Engine starts. NOTE: To prolong Starter
Motor (4 - page 26) life, use short starting cycles (5 seconds maximum, then wait
one minute before attempting restart. (See figure E.)
To start the Engine manually, using the Starter Recoil Handle (17 - page 22), in-
sert the Ignition Key (19 - page 27) and turn the Engine Ignition (8 - page 27) to its
“RuN” position. Grasp the Starter Recoil Handle and pull slowly until resistance
is felt. Allow the Handle to retract slowly. Then pull the Handle with a rapid, full
arm stroke. Allow the Handle to retract slowly. If necessary, repeat this procedure
until the Engine starts.
Once the Engine starts, turn the Choke to its
“RuN” position. Then adjust the
Throttle to the RIGHT (7 - page 23) to the the speed (RPM) you desire. (See fig-
ure d.)
IMPORTANT: Allow the Engine to run at no load for five minutes after each start-
up so that the Engine can stabilize.
When finished using the Engine, turn the Engine’s Ignition (8 - page 27) to its
“Off”
position. Then close the Engine’s Fuel Lever. (See figures d and E.)
NOTE: In an emergency, the Engine can be turned off by either:
Turning the Engine Ignition (8 - page 27) to its “Off” position.
Turning the Fuel Lever to its “cLOSEd” position.
Removing the Spark Plug Cap (4 - page 25).
