If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if

unit shuts down during operation, make sure

unit is on a level surface and check for proper

oil level in crankcase. This unit may be equipped

with a low oil protection device. If so, oil must

be at proper level for engine to start.

Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for only 1

pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move

choke lever to the “RUN” position for up to the

next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much

choke leads to sparkplug fouling/engine

flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This

will cause the engine not to start.
