NOTE:

Incredi-Pull™
starting system
with
MAX FIRE IGNITION™
, 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.
