For MANUAL START

A. Turn the Engine Switch to ON.

b. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull it

slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the 

Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle gently until

resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully and then pull it

quickly. Repeat until the engine starts. Note: Do not let the

Starter Handle snap back against the engine. Hold it as it

recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.

7. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds. Then, if the

Choke lever is in the CHOKE position, move the Choke

Lever very slowly to its RUN position.

Note: Moving the Choke Lever too fast could kill the engine.

8. Close the Pilot Valve by rotating it to a horizontal position.
