TO START A COLD ENGINE:
1. Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface.
2. Push primer bulb 8 to 10 times.
NOTE: Do not squeeze the throttle trigger before engine
starts. Squeezing the throttle trigger at this time will prevent
the unit from starting.

Figure 15.
4. Pull the starter rope until engine runs.
5. Allow the engine to warm up for 4-10 seconds.

throttle trigger. This allows the choke to automatically
set to the “WARM START” position. Your unit is now
ready for use.
NOTE: The lever will automatically set to the “WARM
START” position after the throttle trigger is squeezed for
the first time.
TO START A WARM ENGINE:
1. Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface.
