OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Starting the Engine

Fuel
●
Level the engine before fueling.
●
Open the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank with 50:1 gas/oil
pre-mixed fuel.
●
Pour slowly to avoid "spill back" and allow air to escape from
the fuel tank.
●
Close the tank cap securely by turning it clockwise as far as it
will go.
WARNING
Never fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler
neck. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to
expand and overflow through the vents in the tank cap.
After refueling, make sure the fuel tank cap is closed
securely.
If gasoline is spilled on the fuel tank, wipe it off
immediately.
DANGER
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless, poisonous gas.
Do not operate the engine in enclosed areas. Provide
adequate ventilation at all time.

A. Recoil Starter Grip
WARNING
Releasing the starting rope suddenly may allow the rope
to whip around and cause injury and/or damage the
recoil starting mechanism. When starting the engine,
firmly grasp the recoil starter grip; do not grasp the
starter rope itself. Always control the rope as it rewinds
into the housing.
NOTE
○
For long life of recoil starter rope, pull the rope within the

A. Throttle Lever
A
A. Lift Up Lever
NOTE
○
Should the engine fail to start, do not try to pull the recoil
starter grip too many times with the lift up lever to the
"STARTING" position. This will cause the fuel to flood into the
cylinder and make starting even more difficult. In this case,
set the lift up lever to the "RUNNING" position and repeat the
starting procedure.
○
After starting, vary the engine speed a few times, by
operating the throttle lever to draw out the remaining air in the
carburetor.
●
Turn the lift up lever clockwise
to switch to the "STARTING"
position.
●
Pull the recoil starter grip
slowly to engage the starter,
then give a short, quick pull.
●
Once squeeze the throttle
lever to switch the lift up lever
to the "RUNNING" (engine idle
speed) position, and then
release the throttle lever back
to fully CLOSED (engine idle
speed) position.
