TYPE 1: MANUAL THROTTLE / MANUAL CHOKE

Starting The Engine
1. Pull the choke rod to the
CLOSED position (cold
engine).
2. Move the throttle lever (gray)
away from the SLOW
position, about 1/3 of the way
toward the FAST position.
Some engine applications
use a remotely-mounted
throttle control rather than
the engine-mounted throttle
lever shown here.
3. Pull the starter grip lightly until
resistance is felt, then pull
briskly.
NOTICE
Do not allow the starter grip to
snap back against the engine.
Return it gently to prevent
damage to the starter.
4. If the choke rod was pulled to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, push it to the OPEN position as soon as the engine warms
up enough to run smoothly.
Throttle Setting
Position the throttle control
lever (gray) for the desired
engine speed. For best engine
performance, it is
recommended the engine be
operated with the throttle in the
FAST (or high) position.
Stopping The Engine
1. Move the throttle lever (gray)
to the SLOW position.
2. Allow the engine to idle for a
few seconds, then move the
throttle lever to the STOP
position.
