1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Turn the STOP SWITCH to the position 'I' (ON)
3. Set the speed control lever 1/3 of the way towards the high speed position.
4. Close the choke lever.
- If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, close the choke lever fully.
- If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, open the choke lever half way, or keep it fully
open.
5. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This is the 'compression' point. Return the handle to its
original position and pull swiftly. Do not pull out the rope all the way. After starting the engine, allow the
starter handle to return to its original position while still holding the handle.
6. After starting the engine, gradually open the choke by turning the choke lever and finally keep it fully
opened. Do not fully open the choke lever immediately when the engine is cold or the ambient temperature
is low, because the engine may stop.
7. To stop the engine, Set the speed control lever at the low speed position and allow the engine to run at low
speed for 1 to 2 minutes before stopping.
8. Turn the STOP SWITCH counter-clockwise to the position '0' (OFF)
9. Close the fuel cock.
10. Pull the starter handle slowly and return the handle to its original position when resistance is felt. This
operation is necessary to prevent outside moist air from intruding into the combustion chamber.
Make a visual inspection to ensure the blades are free of obstructions and the area is clear for operation.

PREPARATION OF CONCRETE SURFACE
The use of a mechanical or an air-vibration screeding machine to produce a level concrete surface which will
provide good compaction to the slab and produce an ideal surface for finishing. It should be remembered
finishing machines will not repair or correct a poorly screeded slab.
