Starting The Engine - Shindaiwa T282 Manual De Instrucciones

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 "I" position.
2. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen
flowing in the transparent return tube.
3. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED posi-
tion if engine is cold.
4. While holding the outer tube firmly with
left hand. Use your other hand to slowly
pull the recoil starter handle until resis-
tance is felt, then pull quickly to start the
engine.

The primer system only pushes fuel through
the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the
primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.

the choke lever to the "OPEN" position.
If the engine stops after the initial start,
close the choke and restart.
CAUTION!

end of the rope travel. Pulling the
recoil starter to the end of the rope
travel can damage the starter.
