STARTING AND STOPPING
(4, 5)
Push the choke control back to its original position as
soon as the engine fires, and continue trying to start until
the engine starts.
CAUTION! When the choke control is pushed back to its
original position, the engine runs at a heightened speed,
the so called start throttle position, and the blades then
move. Start throttle position is released by throttling using
the throttle lever.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Warm engine
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never wrap the
starter cord around your hand
Stopping
The engine is switched off by moving the stop switch to
the stop position.
CAUTION!
The stop switch automatically returns to the start position.
In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark plug
cap must be removed from the spark plug when
assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance.
