STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING! 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 serious injury.
CAUTION! 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.
1. Move the fuel cock (I) to the ON position.
2. Move the choke lever (J) to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: Choke is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine.
3. Move throttle lever (D) away from MIN. position, about 1/3 of way toward MAX. position.
4. Turn the engine switch (F) to the ON position.
5. a. Pull Start
i. Pull the starter handle (H) lightly until you feel resistance.
ii. Pull the starter handle briskly as soon as resistance is felt.
iii. Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the engine. Instead, return the starter grip gently
by hand.
b. Electric Start
i. Turn the key to the start position, and hold it there until the engine starts.
NOTE: If engine fails to start within 5 seconds, release the key, and wait at least 10 seconds before operating
the starter again.
NOTE: Electric start requires a battery or power supply to be installed before this option can be used. For
instructions on how to attach the battery, see Connecting the Battery.
6. The engine should turn over and start running.
a. If engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN position, place the throttle in FAST and crank until
engine starts.
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.
Occasionally you may hear a light 'spark knock' or 'pinging' (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy
loads. This is no cause for concern.
Should the spark knock or pinging continue to occur when the engine speed is steady under a normal load, consider
replacing the fuel. If the sounds continue after changing the fuel, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for a solution or see a
qualified technician.
NOTE: Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.
