OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• STARTING A COLD ENGINE
NOTE: To minimize load on engine during starting
and warm-up, trim excess cutter line to 5" (13cm)
(Fig. 5A).
1. Move ignition switch to the “RUN (I)” position (Fig.
5B).
2. Your unit is designed with a 3 position choke:
CHOKE “ ”, PARTIAL “ ”, and RUN “ ”. Move
choke lever to CHOKE “ ” position (Fig. 5C).
3. Prime the carburetor. Pump the primer bulb (A)
10 times (Fig. 5D).
4. Grip handle firmly – depress safety trigger (B) &
throttle trigger (C) to the FULL THROTTLE
position (Fig. 5E).
5. Pull starter rope out a short way until resistance
is felt (approximately 100mm) (Fig. 5F). A
smooth rapid pull is required for a strong spark.
Pull starter rope briskly 4 times.
6. Move choke lever to PARTIAL “ ” position (Fig.
5G).
7. Pull starter rope again 4 times while trigger is in
the full throttle position (Fig. 5F)
8. Once engine starts, leave in the PARTIAL “ ”
position for 10 seconds.
9. Move the choke to RUN “ ” position (Fig. 5H).
10. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 1 through 7.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated attempts,
refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling
starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the
eyelet. This friction will cause the rope to fray and
wear more quickly. Always hold starter handle when
rope retracts. Never allow rope to snap back from
extended position. This could cause rope to snag or
fray and also damage the starter assembly.
• WARM ENGINE START
1. Place trimmer on firm flat surface.
2. Move ignition switch to the “RUN (I)” position (Fig.
6).
3. Grip handle firmly, squeeze throttle trigger to
FULL position.
4. Pull starter rope briskly until engine starts, but no
more than 6 times.
5. If engine does not start, please operate
“STARTING A COLD ENGINE” again.
