Gasoline
WARNING
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combus-
tion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with
up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be
used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting
dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85 gasoline.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled or where gasoline is stored.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank
cap is closed properly and securely.
•
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
•
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor
1.
Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel to prevent debris
from entering fuel tank..
2.
A fuel level indicator is located in the fuel tank. Fill tank until fuel
reaches the fuel level indictor. See Figure 10 inset. Be careful not
to overfill.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING
Always keep hands and feet clear of moving parts. Do not use a
pressurized starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after starting.
The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating
temperatures.
1.
Make certain both the auger control and drive control are in the
disengaged (released) position.
2.
Insert key into slot. Make sure it snaps into place. Do not attempt
to turn the key.
NOTE: The engine cannot start without the key is fully inserted into the
ignition switch.
Electric Starter
WARNING
The optional electric starter is equipped with a grounded three-wire
power cord and plug, and is designed to operate on 120 volt AC
household current. It must be used with a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Follow all instructions carefully prior to operating the electric starter.
DO NOT use electric starter in the rain.
Determine that your home's wiring is a three-wire grounded system.
Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain.
OPERATION
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as follows.
If you do not have the proper house wiring, DO NOT use the electric
starter under any conditions.
1.
Plug the extension cord into the outlet located on the engine's
surface. Plug the other end of extension cord into a three-prong
120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a well-ventilated area.
2.
Move throttle control to FAST (rabbit)
3.
Move choke to the CHOKE position
NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the
RUN position instead of CHOKE
4.
Push primer three times (3x), making sure to cover vent hole in
primer bulb when pushing. If engine is warm, push primer only
once. Always cover vent hole when pushing. Cool weather may
require priming to be repeated.
5.
Push starter button to start engine. Once the engine starts, im-
mediately release starter button. Electric starter is equipped with
thermal overload protection; system will temporarily shut-down to
allow starter to cool if electric starter becomes overloaded.
To prolong starter life, use short starting cycles (5 seconds maximum,
then wait one minute).
6.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the RUN
position. If the engine falters, restart engine and run with choke
at half-choke position for a short period of time, and then slowly
rotate the choke into the RUN position.
7.
After engine is running, disconnect power cord from electric
starter. When disconnecting, always unplug the end at the wall
outlet before unplugging the opposite end from the engine.
Recoil Starter
Do not pull the starter handle while the engine running.
1.
Move throttle control to FAST (rabbit)
2.
Move choke to the CHOKE
engine is warm, place choke in the RUN position.
3.
Push primer three times, making sure to cover vent hole when
pushing. If engine is warm, push primer only once. Always cover
vent hole when pushing. Cool weather may require priming to be
repeated.
4.
Pull gently on the starter handle until it begins to resist, then pull
quickly and forcefully to overcome the compression. Engine should
start. Do not release the handle and allow it to snap back. Return
rope SLOWLY to original position. If required, repeat this step.
5.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the RUN
position. If the engine falters, restart engine and run with choke
at half-choke position for a short period of time, and then slowly
rotate the choke into the RUN position.
To avoid unsupervised engine operation, never leave the machine
unattended with the engine running. Turn the engine off after use and
remove key.
