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.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
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.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted throttle control
rather than the engine-mounted throttle lever shown here. Refer to
the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Move the throttle lever away from the MIN. position, about 1/3
of the way toward the MAX. position.
Some engine applications use a remote-mounted choke control
rather than the engine-mounted choke lever shown here. Refer
to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN
position.
To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED
position.
