STARTUP
Recoil Start
1. Insert the key to the key switch.
2. Move the throttle lever (Figure 11) to the
idle position.
3. Turn the key to the "Run" position (Figure 12). The
buzzer sounds.
4. After "HA" is displayed on the hour tachometer, the
display will change immediately to "cumulative time"
5. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 15) and slowly pull it
out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain
position, corresponding the compression point. Rewind
the rope a little from that point and pull out sharply.

6. When engine starts, release the starter grip and allow
the rope to recoil.
7. After the engine has started, warm up the engine at low
speed for 2 to 3 minutes, especially in cold weather.
8. Before the compactor is placed in to operation, run the
engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and
noises that would associate with a loose component.
NOTICE
DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end.
DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it
to rewind as slow as possible.
