Cranking
Standard versions
Pull the starter grip slowly with your
N
right hand until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope to full length – it might
otherwise break. Do not let the
starter grip snap back. Guide it
slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
If the engine is new or after a long out-of-
service period, it may be necessary to
pull the starter rope several times to
prime the fuel system.

there may be a delay of a few seconds

push down the front handle at the
same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope all the way – it might
