Starting/Stopping Instructions - Craftsman WEEDWACKER Manual Del Usaurio

WARNING:
Operate this unit only in a well-
ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust
fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure
you are in the starting position when pulling the starter
rope (Fig. 5). To avoid serious injury, the operator and
unit must be in a stable position while starting.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mix gas with oil.
2. Fill the fuel tank with the fuel/oil mixture. See Oil
and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
NOTE: There is no need to turn the unit on. The On/Off
Stop Control is in the ON ( I ) position at all times (Fig. 3).
3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in
the primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 4). If you can't
see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as
many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.
4. Push the red EZ-Fire™ lever towards the primer
bulb until it clicks and locks into place (Fig. 4).
5. Crouch in the starting position and do not squeeze
the throttle control (Fig. 5). Pull the starter rope out
with a controlled and steady motion up to 10 times.
Repeat until the engine starts.
NOTE: The unit uses the INCREDI-PULL™ starting
system , which significantly reduces the effort
required to start the engine. You must pull the starter
rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to
start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there
is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this
starting method is vastly different from (and much
easier than) what you may be used to.
6. When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle control
for 15 to 30 seconds. This will warm up the unit.
The red EZ-Fire™ lever will click off
automatically when you squeeze the throttle
control.
IF... The engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF... The engine stops while you are squeezing the
throttle, go back to step 4.
IF... The engine stops before you squeeze the throttle
control, hold the throttle control and pull the
starter rope until the trimmer starts.
NOTE: If you are having trouble starting the unit or are
operating in extreme temperatures (below 40º F,
above 90º F), refer to the Troubleshooting section.
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release your hand from the throttle control. Allow the
engine to cool down by idling.
2. Press and hold On/Off Stop Control in the OFF (O) position
until engine comes to a complete stop (Fig. 3).
