Before operating the engine for the first time, please review the
SAFETY INFORMATION section on page
and the
BEFORE
OPERATION CHECKS on page
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by
this engine for any safety precautions that should be observed
with engine startup, shutdown or operation.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any areas or actions that expose you to carbon
monoxide.
Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED
position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN
position.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine.
Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine
warms up.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly in the direction of the arrow as shown below. Return the
starter grip gently.
