Move combined control to "CHOKE" or "START" position (see equipment manufacturer's instructions). See Figures 8 and 9.

DO NOT operate an electric starter for more than 5 seconds each attempt. 4. When engine starts: a. Release starter button or ignition switch key. b. Next, move combined control to "FAST". c. Finally, move combined control to desired speed in "RUN" range. NOTES If engine starts, but falters when combined control is moved to "FAST" position: a. Momentarily move combined control back to "CHOKE" position. b. Next, move combined control to "FAST" position. c. Finally, move combined control to desired speed in "RUN" range. 5. If engine dies after combined control is moved to "FAST" position, repeat steps 2 thru 4 to restart engine. 6.
