STARTING AND STOPPING ENGINE
1. Move engine to a well ventilated area or outdoor
to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
2. Move to an area away from flames or sparks to
avoid ignition of vapors if present.
3. Remove all debris from air cleaner holes and fuel
cap to ensure proper air flow.
4. Turn switch to the ON position.
5. PRIMING:
• When using the primer bulb, allow the bulb to return
completely to its original position between pushes.
• Choke must be in the OFF or RUN position when
pushing or using the priming bulb.
First Start: Starting new engine for the first time or
after running out of gas, prime three times.
Cold Start: Starting engine after it has been sitting or
stored briefly with fuel in the tank, prime one time above
55° Fahrenheit or two times below 55° Fahrenheit.
Warm Start: Do not use primer or full choke if engine
did not run out of gas or has not cooled completely.
Flooding will occur.
6. CHOKE:
• Full choke position is defined by moving the
choke lever as far to the ON or CHOKE position as
possible. Half choke is defined when the choke
lever is between ON or CHOKE and OFF or RUN.
First Start & Cold Start: After priming, move choke
lever to full choke.
Warm Start: No choke or half choke is needed.
