WARNING!

When the engine starts or is running–

even at idle–the hedge trimmer cutter

blade may move (oscillate). Keep

your hands and your body away from

the cutter assembly while starting the

engine!

Starting A Flooded Engine

1. Disconnect the spark plug lead and use

the spark plug wrench to remove the

spark plug (turn counter clockwise to

remove).

2. Slide the ignition switch to the “O”

(STOP) position.

n If the spark plug is fouled or soaked

with fuel, clean the plug as necessary.

3. Open the choke (Figure 22) and fully

depress the throttle lever with your left

hand, then pull the starter handle rap-

idly with your right hand to clear excess

fuel from the combustion chamber.

Starting the Engine

5. While holding the outer tube ﬁrmly

with left hand. Use your other hand

to slowly pull the recoil starter handle

until resistance is felt, then pull quickly

to start the engine.

3. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen

ﬂowing in the transparent return tube.

Make sure

the cutting

attachment

is clear of

obstructions!

IMPORTANT!

Engine ignition is controlled by a two

position switch mounted on the throttle

housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and

"O" for OFF or STOP.

IMPORTANT!

The primer system only pushes fuel

through the carburetor. Repeatedly

pressing the primer bulb will not ood the

engine with fuel.

CAUTION!

Do not pull the recoil starter to the end

of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil

starter to the end of the rope travel can

damage the starter.

ON

1. Slide the ignition switch to the “ON”

position. See Figure 18.

2. Set the throttle lever to the “fast idle”;

a. Squeeze the throttle lever toward the

handgrip on the shaft tube.

b. Depress and hold the throttle lock

button.

c. While depressing the throttle lock

button, release the throttle lever.

See Figure 18.

4. Set the choke

lever to the

CLOSED posi-

tion if engine

is cold.

Figure 20

Never start the engine from the

operating position.

When the Engine Starts...

n After the engine starts, allow the engine

to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before

operating the unit.

n Advancing the throttle makes the cut-

ting attachment oscillate faster; releas-

ing the throttle permits the attachment

to stop oscillating. If the cutting attach-

ment continues to oscillate when the

engine returns to idle, carburetor idle

speed should be adjusted (see "Adjust-

ing Engine Idle" on the next page).

IMPORTANT!

If the engine fails to start after several

attempts with the choke in the closed

position, the engine may be ooded

with fuel. If ooding is suspected,

move the choke lever to the open position

and repeatedly pull the recoil starter to

remove excess fuel and start the engine.

If the engine still fails to start, refer to the

troubleshooting section of this manual.

5. When the engine starts, slowly move

the choke lever to the "OPEN" position.

See Figure 22. (If the engine stops after

the initial start, close the choke and

restart.)
