Manual

_ ARNING: Operate this unit only in a well- ventilated outdoor area.
Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
_ ARNING: Avoid accidental starting. Make sure you are in the
starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 16). To avoid
serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while
starting. To avoid serious personal injury, make sure that the blower
tube is locked in place or firmly installed.
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 Fueling
the Unit.
3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times, slowly. Some amount
of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb (Fig. 14). 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. 14).
NOTE: The unit should be started in idle. Do not squeeze the trigger until
step 8 (Fig. 15, A).
5. Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 16). Pull the starter rope 5 times in a
controlled motion.
NOTE: The unit uses the Incredi-PuIF Mstarting 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. Move the choke lever to Position 2 (Fig. 14).
7. Pull the starter rope 3-5 times in a controlled motion to start the engine.
8. Squeeze and hold the trigger, or press down the cruise control, and
allow the engine to warm up for 30 to 60 seconds.
9. Continue to squeeze the trigger. Move the choke lever to Position 3
(Fig. 14) and continue warming the engine for an additional 60 seconds.
During this time the unit may be used.
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 pull the starter rope 3-8 times in a controlled motion.
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.

Using the Cruise Control
1. Once the engine has started and warmed up, squeeze the trigger to
accelerate the unit as needed (Fig. 15, B).
2. For longer periods of operation and to eliminate possible finger fatigue,
move the cruise control toward the FAST position to incrementally
increase or maintain the unit's engine speed (Fig. 15, B). When the
cruise control is pressed, the trigger will recede into the handle.
3. To decrease engine speed, move the cruise control to the SLOW
position and the trigger will return to the idle position (Fig. 15, B).
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release your hand from the trigger. Allow the engine to cool down by idling.
2. Press and hold the On/Off switch in the OFF (O) position until the unit
comes to a complete stop (Fig. 15, A).
