: Put the unit on the ground: It must
rest securely on the engine support
and deflector.
Check that the cutting tool is not
touching the ground or any other
obstacles.
: Make sure you have a firm footing:
Hold the unit with your left hand and
press it down firmly – your thumb
should be under the housing.
Do not stand or kneel on the drive
tube!
Standard versions:
: Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull.
Do not pull out the starter rope all
the way – it might break.
Versions with ErgoStart:
: Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel the first stop
– and then pull it out slowly and
steadily.
Do not pull out the starter rope to its
full length – it might break.
: Do not let the starter grip snap back.
Guide it slowly back into the housing
so that the starter rope can rewind
properly.
: Continue cranking until engine runs.
: After no more than 5 pulls, move the
choke lever e and continue
cranking.
As soon as the engine runs
: Squeeze throttle until the tongue
disengages – the engine will settle
down to idle speed.
Make sure the carburetor is
correctly adjusted – the cutting tool
must not rotate when the engine is
idling.
Your machine is now ready for
operation.
