Starting The Engine - Swisher E4-U3000 Manuel D'utilisation

Starting the Engine

Engine ignition is controlled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and "O" for OFF or STOP.
WARNING!
Never start the engine from
the operating position.
1. Slide the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.
2. Set the throttle lever to the "fast idle":
a. Squeeze the throttle lever toward
the handgrip on the shaft tube.
b. Depress and hold the throttle lock
button.
c. While depressing the throttle lock
button, release the throttle lever.
3. Press the primer bulb until fuel can
be seen flowing in the transparent
return tube.
IMPORTANT!
The primer system only pushes fuel
through the carburetor. Repeatedly press-
ing the primer bulb will not flood the
engine with fuel.
4. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED
position if engine is cold.
5. While holding the outer tube firmly
with left hand. Use your other hand
to slowly pull the recoil starter handle
until resistance is felt, then pull quickly
to start the engine.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end
of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil
starter to the end of the rope travel
can damage the starter.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment may
rotate when the engine is started!
