position (Fig. 16).
3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly, until FUEL IS VISIBLE IN THE PRIMER
BULB (Fig. 17). If you can’t see fuel in the bulb, press
and release the bulb three (3) additional times, or as

4. Push the EZ-Start™ Lever to the left until it clicks and
locks into place (Fig. 17).
5. While the unit is in the starting position (Fig. 18), DO
NOT SQUEEZE THE THROTTLE CONTROL. Pull the

lever is pushed to the left. If the engine starts to run
before the fifth pull, proceed to step 6.
NOTE: When starting, the EZ-Start™ Lever will automatically
click off when you squeeze the throttle control.
NOTE: If the outside temperature or engine temperature
exceeds 90º F and the engine fails to start after 5
pulls, fully squeeze the throttle control and pull the
starter rope briskly 3 to 8 more times. The engine
should start within these pulls.
6. When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle control for
5 to 10 seconds in order to warm up the engine. The
EZ-Start™ Lever will click off automatically (Fig. 17).
NOTE: If the engine stalls prior to squeezing the throttle
control, squeeze the throttle control and pull
starter rope until the trimmer starts.
NOTE: If the engine stalls while you squeeze the throttle
control, go back and follow steps 4 and 5.
WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well-
ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide
exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
WARNING: Avoid accidental starting. Make
sure you are in the starting position when
pulling the starter rope (Fig. 18). To avoid
serious injury, the operator and unit must be
in a stable position while starting.
Make sure that any Add-On item is installed
correctly and secure before starting the unit.
