A. Turn the Engine Switch to ON.
b. 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.
7. 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 kill the engine.
