2. Put the ON/OFF switch (A, Fig.8) in the "I"
position (HC 246P - HC 247P - TG 2460P -
TG 2470P models).
3. Pull the choke lever (18, Fig.2) in the CLOSE
position [0] (A, Fig.11). In so doing, it also
activates automatically half-throttle.
4. Lay the machine on the ground in a stable
position. Make sure the cutting tool is free.
Holding the hedgetrimmer down (Fig.9-10),
pull the starter rope (no more than 3 times)
until you hear the engine start to fire. A new
unit may require additional pulls.
5. Push the choke lever (18, Fig.2) in OPEN (I)
position (B, Fig.11).
6. Pull the starter cord to start the engine. Once
the machine is started, warm up the machine
for about few seconds, without touch the
throttle lever. The machine could need more
seconds to warm up with cold weather or at
high altitudes. Finally, push the throttle lever (6,
Fig.2) for deactivate the automatic half-throttle.
CAUTION:
- Never wrap the starter cord around
your hand.
- When pulling the starter rope, do not
use the full extent of the rope as this
can cause the rope to break.
- Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold
the starter handle (5, Fig.2) and let the
rope rewind slowly.
WARNING - Once the engine is warmed up
do not use the choke to start up again.
WARNING - Use the semi-acceleration device
only in the phase of starting the engine.

BREAKING-IN THE ENGINE

The engine reaches the maximum power after
5÷8 hours of activity.
During this period of breaking-in do not use the
engine at wide open throttle without load, to
avoid excessive functioning stress.
WARNING! - During the breaking-in
period do not vary the carburetion to
obtain a presumed power increment; the
engine can be damaged.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted
from a new engine during and after first use.
