4. 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.

2. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be

seen ﬂowing in the transparent return

tube.

Make sure the cut-

ting attachment

is clear of obstruc-

tions!

IMPORTANT!

Engine ignition is controled 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 ﬂood 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.

When the Engine Starts...

 After the engine starts, allow the engine

to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before

operating the unit.

After the engine is warm, pick up the

unit and clip on the shoulder strap if so

equipped.

 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 The Carburetor" on the next page).

Starting the Engine

IMPORTANT!

If the engine fails to start after several

attempts with the choke in the closed

position, the engine may be ﬂooded

with fuel. If ﬂooding 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. (If

the engine stops after the initial start,

close the choke and restart.)

WARNING!

Never start the engine from the operat-

ing position.

NOTE:

Before starting the engine, make sure the

cutter assembly is in the cutting position

(extended). Never start the engine with the

cutter assembly in the storage/transportation

position.
