easy to start, even for children – risk of
accident!

pulls of the starter rope, pulling the
rope out only a little bit each time
N during starting, press down on the
handlebar – do not pull out the
starter rope all the way – risk of
breakage!
N Do not let the starter grip snap back
– guide it vertically back into the
housing so that the starter rope can
rewind properly
