Starting the engine
1. To start a cold engine, move the Choke to the
CHOKE position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the Choke in the
RUN position.
2. Open the Fuel Valve.
3. Turn the Engine Switch to ON.
4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull it
slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the
Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle gently
until resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully and
then pull it quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.
Note: Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against
the engine. Hold it as it recoils so it doesn’t hit
the engine.
5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Then, if the Choke lever is in the CHOKE position,
move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.
nOte: Moving the Choke Lever too fast could stall the engine.
imPORtant: Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes with no
load after each start-up so that the engine can stabilize.
