6.3 STARTUP
Before starting the engine:
1. Place the machine firmly on the ground.
2. Remove the guard of the cutting
means (fig. 1.L)(if used).
3. Make sure the blade (1.C.2)(if used) does
not touch the ground or other objects.
6.3.1 Startup from cold
A "cold" start of the engine means
starting it after at least 5 minutes from when
it was switched off or after refuelling.
IMPORTANT To prevent distortions, the
drive tube must not be used as a support
for the hand or knee during startup.
IMPORTANT To avoid breaking the starter
cable, do not pull the whole length of it or
let it slide along the edge of the cable guide
hole. Release the starter grip gradually,
to prevent it flying back uncontrollably.
1. Turn switch (fig. 10.A; fig. 11.A) to «I».
2. Switch on the starter (fig. 10.E; fig. 11.E)
by turning the lever to position «B».
3. Press the primer device button (fig. 10.F; fig.
11.F) 3 or 4 times to prime the carburettor.
Make sure that the hole is covered by
your finger when pressing the bulb.
4. only for models with throttle shutter:
Push the throttle control lever (fig. 10.B)
and the throttle safety lever at the same
time (fig. 10.C) and keep them in this
position whilst pressing the throttle shutter
button (fig. 10.D); release the levers so
that the button remains pressed.
5. Hold the machine firmly on the ground
with one hand on the power unit,
in order not to lose control of the
machine during startup (Fig. 12).
6. Pull the starter grip slowly for 10 - 15 cm until
you feel some resistance, then tug it a few
times until you hear the engine turn over.
7. Switch off the starter (fig. 10.E; fig. 11.E)
by turning the lever to position «A».
8. Pull the starter grip again until
the engine starts as normal.

9.a only for models with throttle shutter:
Use the throttle control lever (fig. 10.B)
briefly to disconnect the throttle (fig.
10.D) and make the engine run idle.
9.b only for models without throttle
shutter:
control lever (fig. 11.B) briefly.
