ON/OFF SWITCH
The
ON/OFF switch is located on the
trigger handle and is used to stop the
engine. Move the switch to the

PRIMER BULB
The
PRIMER BULB removes air from
the carburetor and fuel lines and fills
them with fuel. This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulls on the
starter rope. Activate the primer bulb
by pressing it and allowing it to return
to its original form.
CHOKE
The
CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the
engine to aid in cold starting. Activate
the choke by moving the choke lever to
the
FULL CHOKE position. After the en-
gine attempts to start, move the choke
lever to the
HALF CHOKE position. Once
engine has started, move the choke le-
ver to the
OFF CHOKE position.
COUPLER
The
COUPLER enables optional at-
tachments to be installed on the unit.
