Engine Operation; Starting The Engine - Shindaiwa T310S Manuel D'utilisation

Starting the engine

When starting the engine, observe the precautions described from Page 4 in the section "For safe use of your prod-
uct" to ensure that you operate the product correctly.
If the cutting attachment rotates even though the throttle trigger is in the idle speed position when the engine is start-
ed, adjust the carburettor before using the product.
Failure to observe the precautions could cause an accident or injury, or even lead to a fatality.
NOTE
Pull out the starter grip gently at first, and then more rapidly. Do not pull the starter rope out to more than 2/3 of its length.
Do not let go of the starter grip as it returns.

The starting procedure depends on whether the engine is cold or
warm. A cold engine is started as follows.
1. Placing the product on level ground, check to ensure that the
cutting attachment does not come into contact with the sur-
face of the ground or any other impediment using a beam or
other such implement.
2. Check that there are no fuel leaks.
3. Move the ignition switch to the Start position.
4. Make sure that the throttle trigger is at the idle speed posi-
tion.
5. Move the choke lever to the Closed position.
6. Alternately press and release the purge bulb until the fuel is
sucked up into it.
7. Checking that the area around you is safe, hold the position
closest to the engine firmly as shown in the illustration, pull-
ing several times on the starter grip.
8. If you hear an explosion-like sound and the engine stops im-
mediately, move the choke lever to the Open position and
continue pulling on the starter grip to start the engine.
9. If the engine starts immediately when you carry out the in-
structions in step 7, above, return the choke lever gently to
the Open position.
10. Leave the engine to warm up at idle speed for a while.
