4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull
it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow
into the Engine's carburetor. Then pull the Starter
Handle gently until resistance is felt. Allow Cable to
retract fully and then pull it quickly. Repeat until the
engine starts.
Note: Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against
the engine.Hold it as it recoils so it doesn't hit the
engine.
5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds. Then, if
the Choke lever is in the START position, move the
Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.
Note: Moving the Choke Lever too fast could stall the
engine.
IMPORTANT: Allow the engine to run at no load for five
minutes after each start-up so that the engine can
stabilize.
