The cutting attachment will engage
and rotate as the engine starts and
accelerates.
If the engine did not continue to run,
repeat the appropriate cranking
procedure (warm or cold engine).
When the engine starts clear excess
fuel from the combustion chamber ty
revving the engine several times with
the throttle trigger (operating the
trigger will automatically disengage
the "fast idle" setting).
If The engine Fails To Start
Repeat the appropriate cranking
procedure (warm or cold engine). If
the engine fails to start after repeated
attempts, the engine is likely flooded.
Proceed to the following procedure.
Starting A Flooded Engine
1.Disconnect the spark plug lead, and
then use the spark plug wrench to
remove the spark lug (turn
counterclockwise to remove).See
Figure 30.
If the spark plug is fouled or soaked
with fuel, clean the lug as necessary.
Figure 30
Figure 31
2.Open the choke (Figure 31) and fully
depress the throttle trigger with your
left hand, then pull the starter handle
rapidly with your right hand to clear
excess fuel from the combustion
chamber.
The cutting attachment can continue
rotating after the engine is switched
off!
Incorrect spark plug installation can
result in serious engine damage.
3.Reinstall the spark plug and tighten it
firmly. If a torque wrench is available,
torque the spark plug to 16.7-18.6
N.m.
4.Repeat the starting procedure for a
warm engine.
5.If the engine still fails to start, refer
to the troubles shooting section near
the end of the manual.
1.Cool the
engine by
allowing it to
idle for two
or three
minutes.
2.Slide the
ignition
switch to the
"O" or STOP
position. See
Figure 31.
