STARTING YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Position your machine on flat, dry ground.
2. Make sure the fuel shut off valve is in the "ON" position.
3. Move the choke control lever to the "CHOKE" position (should only be needed if the engine
is cold).
4. Move the throttle control lever to the "FAST" position.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull
until you feel resistance. Let the cord retract a little bit then pull the cord rapidly to start the
engine. One or two pulls usually starts the engine.
6. Move the choke control lever (if used for cold engine), slowly back to the "RUN" position when
the engine is running well.
7. If the machine has not been running (cold engine), warm up the engine by running it at half
throttle for 3 to 4 minutes, then advance the engine throttle control to the maximum speed.
STOPPING YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Move the throttle lever to "IDLE".
2. Slide the gas lever to the left to shut the engine off.
