Operator`s manual

WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
WARNING: Avoid accidental starting. Make sure you are in the
starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 7). To avoid
serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position
while starting.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the oil level in the crankcase. Refer to Checking the Oil Level.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. Refer to Fuefing
the Unit.
NOTE: There is no need to turn the unit on. The On/Off Stop Control is in
the ON (I) position at all times (Fig. 8).
3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times, slowly. Some amount
of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb (Fig. 6). If fuel cannot be
seen in the bulb, press and release the bulb until fuel is visible.
4. Move the choke lever to Position 1 (Fig. 6).
5. Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 7). SQUEEZE and HOLD the
throttle control for ALL further steps. Pull the starter rope in a
controlled motion 5 times.
NOTE: The unit uses the Incredi-Pull TM starting system with MAX FIRE
IGNITION TM, 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. Continue to squeeze the throttle control. Move the choke lever to
Position 2 (Fig. 6).
7. Continue to squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope in a
controlled motion 3-5 times to start the engine.
8. Continue to squeeze the throttle control. Allow the engine to warm
up for 30-60 seconds.
9. Continue to squeeze the throttle control. Move the choke lever to
Position 3 (Fig. 6).
10. Continue to squeeze the throttle control. Run the unit for an
additional 60 seconds to complete the warm-up. The unit may be used
during this step.
IF... The engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF... The engine fails to start after a few attempts, move the choke lever
to Position 3 and squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope in
a controlled motion 3-8 times. The engine should start. If not, repeat.
IF WARM... If the engine is already warm, start the unit with the choker lever in
Position 2. After the unit starts, move the choker lever to Position 3.
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release your hand from the throttle control. Allow the engine to cool
down by idling.
2. Press and hold the On/Off Stop Control in the OFF (O) position until
engine comes to a complete stop (Fig. 8).
