STARTINIGNSTRUCTIONS 1. ChectkheoilleveilnthecrankcaseR.efetroChecking the Oil Level. 2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. Refer to Fueling the Unit. NOTE: There is no need to turn the unit on. The On/Off Stop Control is in the ON ( I ) position at all times. 3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times, slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 7). If you can't see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it. IF UNIT IS BELOW 40°F/4°0... Push the Cold Weather Start Lever (Fig. 7) down to the start/closed position. DO NOT push this lever down if the unit temperature is above 40°F/4°C. With the unit in the starting position (Fig. 8), do not squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope out a short distance, until you feel some resistance. This is usually around 2-4 inches. Pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion. Repeat this 5 times. The engine should start. 5. If engine starts, squeeze the throttle control to warm up the engine for 15 to 30 seconds. In cold weather, let the engine warm up for 30 to 60 seconds. IF ENGINE STARTS AND WEATHER IS COLD... (below 40°F/4°C), lift the Cold Weather Start Lever back up to the run/open position. ........IF... the engine does not start, go back to step 3. .........I.F..... the engine stops while you are squeezing the throttle, go back to step 4. WARM UNIT RESTART... Once the engine is warm, just pull the starter rope to restart. Do not squeeze the throttle control while pulling the starter rope. NOTE: The unit uses the Incredi-Pull TM starting system with MAX FIRE IGNITION TM , which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to. STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Release your hand from the throttle control. Allow the engine to cool down by idling. 2. Press and hold On/Off Stop Control in the OFF (O) position until engine comes to a complete stop (Fig. 9).
