Recoil Starter Types
Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly
(see TYPE 1 Step 4 on page 4). Begin pulling the recoil starter as

If the engine does not start before the choke moves to the OFF
position, repeat steps 2 and 3, then continue starting.

Turn the starter switch (located on equipment) to the START
position, and hold it there until the engine starts. When the engine
starts, allow the engine switch to return to its normal position.
NOTICE
Do not use the starter for more than 5 seconds or starter motor
damage may occur. If the engine fails to start, release the switch
and wait 10 seconds before operating the starter again.
If the engine does not start before the choke moves to the OFF
position, repeat steps 2 and 3, then continue starting.
The throttle is preset on this type.
