11. Starting / Stopping the engine
Before every use and before every start of the
mistblower check and ensure the machine is in
good and safe condition. (throttle operation,
ignition switch, safety devices, shoulder strap
and check for fuel leaks)
During the starting procedure and while
operating the mistblower, the operator must
have secure footing and have a safe body
position.
The engine starting site should be at least 3
meters away from the refueling site.
Starting with cold engine
Switch ignition switch to "I" position and close
liquid tap.

slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull up firmly
and rapidly until the engine 'fires'.

Note: The liquid pump attachment comprises a
special metering body, which should be installed
when using a liquid pump.
Please note: When using a liquid pump,
ensure that the tank contains sufficient
liquid. The liquid pump can sustain severe
damage, if it is permitted to run dry. When
using the equipment as a mister and as blower,
remove the pump for that reason.
