POINTS IN OPERATION AND HOW TO STOP
Observe the applicable accident prevention regulations!
STARTING
Move at least 3 m away from the place of refueling. Place the unit on the ground taking care that the cutting attachment does not come into
contact with the ground or any other objects.
A: Cold start
1) Set this machine on a flat space.
2) Set the I-O switch (1) to OPERATION.
3) Primer pump
Continue to push the primer pump until fuel enters into the primer pump. (In
general, fuel enters into the primer pump by 7 to 10 pushes.)
If the primer pump is pushed excessively, an excess of gasoline returns to
the fuel tank.
4) Recoil starter
Pull the start knob gently until it is hard to pull (compression point). Then,
return the start knob, and pull it strongly.
Never pull the rope to the full. Once the start knob is pulled, never release
your hand immediately. Hold the start knob until it returns to its original
point.
5) Warm-up operation
Continue warm-up operation for 2 to 3 minutes.
NOTE: In case of excessive fuel intake (flooding), remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to remove excess fuel. Also, dry the
electrode section of the spark plug.
B: Startup after warm-up operation
1) Push the primer pump repeatedly.
2) Keep the throttle lever at the idling position.
3) Pull the recoil starter strongly.
4) If it is difficult to start the engine, open the throttle by about 1/3.
Attention in Operation
When the engine is operated upside down, white smoke may come out from the muffler.
