Starting The Engine

WARNING: When the engine is
started with the choke in either the
choke or start throttle positions
the cutting attachment will start
to rotate immediately.
• Place the brush cutter on level ground and
ensure that no objects or obstructions are
in immediate vicinity which could come in
contact with the cutting attachment. Hold
the body of the machine on the ground
using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with
your foot!), see Fig. 15A.
OPERATION
Start-up procedure
1) Slowly push the purge bulb 6 times (9,
Fig.1).
2) Pull the choke lever (15, Fig.1) in the
CLOSE position (A, Fig.15)
3) Pull the throttle lever (18, Fig.1) and stop it
at half-throttle by pressing the button (22),
then release the lever (18).
4) Place the brush cutter on the ground in
a stable position. Check that the blade
is free. Holding the brush cutter down
(Fig.15A), pull the starter rope until the
fi rst kick over of the engine is heard (no
more than 3 pulls). A new unit may require
additional pulls.
5) Push the choke lever (15, Fig.1) in OPEN
position (B, Fig.15).
6) Pull the starter cord to start the engine.
Once the machine is started, warm up the
machine for about few seconds, without
touch the throttle lever. The machine could
need more seconds to warm up with cold
weather or at high altitudes. Finally, put the
choke lever (18, Fig.1) for deactivate the
automatic half-throttle.
CAUTION:
- 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 starter handle
(14, Fig.1) and let the rope
rewind slowly.
