STARTING
NEVER use raw (unmixed) fuel, or any high-ethanol fuel
(ethanol content greater than 10%) such as E20 -E85,
in a two-stroke engine.
Fuel containers filled with 2-stroke engine fuel/oil mix
should be identified as containing fuel/oil mix, and
should be stored separately to prevent using raw or high
ethanol gasoline in a two-stroke engine.
STARTING
DANGER
The Operator’s Manual for your unit has specific starting
instructions for your model and type of engine. For your
safety and ease of starting, always follow these starting
instructions, and obey the safety rules provided.
The cutting head/work attachment on units that require
starting at wide-open (full) throttle (throttle trigger fully
depressed) will start moving immediately when the
engine starts.
To avoid loss of control and serious injury:
••••• Stabilize unit on ground before pulling starter handle.
••••• Stay clear of the cutting head/work attachment.
••••• Keep the cutting head/work attachment off the
ground and clear of objects that could be struck or
become entangled.
••••• Release the throttle trigger immediately when en-
gine starts.
Before starting the unit, make sure you know the loca-
tion of the unit’s “STOP” switch, and know how to per-
form an emergency stop in case of a switch malfunction.
(See “Stopping” on page 25.)
