se the lever (B).
• Put the choke lever (D, Fig. 39) in the CLOSE position. Place
the brush cutter on the ground in a stable position. Check that
the blade is free.
• Holding the brush cutter down, pull the starting rope slowly until
you meet resistance (Fig. 35). Then pull it hard several times,

• Once the engine has started, press throttle trigger (B, Fig. 37-
38) to release it from the half-throttle position and let the engi-
ne idle.
• Never wrap the starter cord around your hand.
• When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the
rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope
snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.
WARNING: Do not cut material with the choke/fast
idle lever at the CLOSE position. Do not operate your
brush cutter with the starting throttle lock engaged.
Cutting with the starting throttle lock engaged does
not permit the operator proper control of the brush
38 cutter.
NOTE - STARTING WARM ENGINE:
Follow above starting instructions, but do not use the CLOSE
position for start up again.
S model - To start the engine when warm, switch (F) must be
positioned as shown in Fig. 40.
WARNING: Weather conditions and altitude may
affect carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to
the brush cutter while adjusting the carburetor.
Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time you are cutting.

NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new
engine during and after first use.

Breaking-in the Engine

The engine reaches the maximum power after 5-8 hours of activity.
During this period of breaking-in do not make the machine
function idly at full throttle, to avoid excessive functioning stress.
40 CAUTION! – During the breaking-in period do not
vary the carburetion to obtain a presumed power
increment; the engine can be damaged.
Difficult Starting (or starting a flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started
after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by
following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Ensure
the ON/STOP switch is in the ON position. Starting could require
pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how
badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start refer to the
TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE (page 31).
