area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in
a confined area.
WARNING:
starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 8).
To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit must be
in a stable position while starting.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture. See Oil
and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
2.
Make sure the On/Off Stop Control in the ON ( I ) position
(Fig. 6).
3.
Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times, slowly.
Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb
and fuel lines (Fig. 7). If you can't see fuel in the bulb,
press and release the bulb as many times as it takes
before you can see fuel in it.
4.
Place the blue choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 7).
5.
Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 8) and squeeze the
throttle control. Pull the starter rope out with a controlled
and steady motion 5 times.
NOTE: The unit uses EZ-Pull Version 3™, which
significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine.
You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the
engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope
briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be
aware that this starting method is vastly different from
(and much easier than) what you may be used to.
6.
Place the blue choke lever in Position 2.
7.
While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter rope
out with a controlled and steady motion until the engine
starts.
8.
Keep the throttle squeezed and allow the engine to warm
up for 15 to 30 seconds.
NOTE: Engine may take longer to warm up and reach
maximum operating speed at colder temperatures.
NOTE: Unit is properly warmed up when engine
accelerates without hesitation.
9.
Once the engine is warmed up, place the blue choke lever
in Position 3 (Fig. 7). The unit is ready for use.
NOTE: Move the blue choke lever to Position 3 for best
engine performance. DO NOT leave the lever in Position 2.
IF... The engine hesitates, return choke lever to Position 2
(Fig. 7) and continue warm up.
IF... The engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF... The engine fails to start after a few attempts, place the
blue choke lever in Position 3 and squeeze the throttle
control. Pull the starter rope 3 to 8 times. The engine
should start. If not, repeat.
IF WARM... If the engine is already warm, make sure the
On/Off Stop control is in the ON position and start the
unit with the blue choke lever in Position 2. After the unit
starts, move the blue choke lever to Position 3.
