Starting The Engine - Shindaiwa POWERBROOM PB3410 Manual Del Propietário

Starting the Engine

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.
WARNING!
Never start the engine from
the operating position.
1. Slide the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.
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.
3. Press the primer bulb until fuel can
be seen flowing in the transparent
return tube.
4. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED
position if engine is cold.
IMPORTANT!
The primer system only pushes fuel
through the carburetor. Repeatedly press-
ing the primer bulb will not flood the
engine with fuel.
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.
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.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment may
rotate when the engine is started!
6. When the engine starts, slowly move
the choke lever to the "OPEN" posi-
tion. (If the engine stops after the initial
start, close the choke and restart.)
7. Operating the throttle will automati-
cally disengage the fast idle setting.

If the engine fails to start after several
attempts with the choke in the closed posi-
tion, 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.
