operating position.
If the engine fails to start after several attempts
with the choke in the closed position, 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.
Idle the engine briefly before stopping
(about  minutes), then slide the ignition
switch to the "O" (Engine OFF) position.
The engine must return to idle speed
whenever the throttle lever is released.
Idle speed is adjustable, and must be set
low enough to permit the engine clutch to
disengage the cutting attachment.

must NEVER rotate at engine
idle! If the idle speed cannot be
adjusted by the procedure described

When the Engine Starts...
■
After the engine starts, allow the engine
to warm up at idle  or 3 minutes before
operating the unit.
■
Advancing the throttle makes the
cutting attachment turn faster; releasing
the throttle permits the attachment to
stop turning. If the cutting attachment
continues to rotate when the engine
returns to idle, carburetor idle speed
should be adjusted (see "Adjusting
Engine Idle" below).
1. Place the trimmer on the ground, then
start the engine, and then allow it to idle
-3 minutes until warm.
. If the attachment rotates when the
engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed
by turning the idle adjustment screw
counter-clockwise. See Figure 17.
3. If a tachometer is available, the engine idle
speed should be final adjusted to 3,000
(±50) rpm (min ).
