STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING! Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited
to, blades, impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached
before the engine is started to avoid injury or damage.
CAUTION! Failure to follow the steps below will result in rapid retraction of
the starter cord faster than the user can let go. This will pull the user's
hand and arm toward the engine, possibly resulting in an injury.
1. Move the fuel valve (I) to the ON position.
2. Move the choke lever (J) to the CLOSED position if the engine is cold. The
choke is unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.
3. Move the throttle lever (E) away from MIN. position, about 1/3 of way
toward the MAX. position.
4. Turn the engine switch (F) to the ON position.
5. Pull the starter handle (H) lightly until you feel resistance, then pull the
starter handle briskly. The engine should turn over and start running.
a. Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the engine.
Instead, return the starter grip gently by hand.
6. If the engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN position, place the
throttle in FAST and attempt to start the engine again.
7. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine,
gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
