ENGINE START
1. Remove all debris from air cleaner holes and cooling ns
to ensure proper air ow.
2. Move throttle lever 1/2 way between the FAST and SLOW
THROTTLE positions. (This is not necessary on models with
throttle xed at full throttle position.) SEE FIGURE 3.
3. Move the choke lever as follows:
• If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low,
move choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position. SEE FIG-
URE 4.
• If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high,
move choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position or RUN
position. SEE FIGURES 5 AND 6.
4. Turn the On/O switch to the ON position. SEE FIGURE 7.
5. Grasp starter handle and pull out slowly, until resistance is
felt. Without letting it retract, pull rope with a rapid stroke.
DO NOT pull out the rope all of the way. Let it return to
its original position very slowly. Repeat this step until
engine starts.
