STARTING
Gasoline Engine
• Turn the STOP switch clock-wise to the position "I" (ON). (Fig.2)
• Open the fuel cock. (Fig.3)
• Set the speed control lever 1/3 to 1/2 of the way towards the high
speed position. (Fig.4)
Close the choke lever
• If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, open the
choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.
• If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, close the
choke lever fully. (Fig.5)
• Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This is the
"compression" point.
• Return the handle to its original position and pull swiftly.
• Do not pull out the rope all the way.
• After starter the engine, allow the starter handle to return to its
original position while still holding the handle.(Fig.6)
Diesel Engine
• Turn the throttle lever to START position (open about 30 degrees).
(Fig.7)
Operate Starter
• In case of recoil starter pull the starter knob slowly, you will reach a
point where resistance becomes stronger (compression point). By
pulling it further, you will find a point where resistance is reduced.
Return the knob slowly to its original place. (Fig.7)
CAUTION
Do not pull the rope all the way and do not take you hand off the pulled knob but slowly return it original position.
After starting up the engine, be sure to perform a warm up for 2 to 3 minutes. This should be performed without fail, particularly during winter season.
OPERATION
• As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the
OPEN position. (Fig.8)
• Move the speed control lever from the Low to the High position.
When the engine speed reaches approximately 2,300-2,600rpm,
the centrifugal clutch engages. If the engine speed increased very
slowly, it is possible that the clutch can slip. Do not operate the
speed control lever slowly. (Fig.9, 10)
OIL ALERT SYSTEM (Optional)
• The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused
by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level
in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert System will
automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the
ON position).
