Operation

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting the Engine, carefully note the following:
• Check engine oil level.
• Allow engine to warm up for approximately 15-20 seconds before rotating Choke Knob to RUN Position.
• If inconsistent engine speeds are experienced when Choke Knob is rotated to RUN Position:
1. Move Choke Knob to mid-point between RUN and CHOKE Positions and allow Engine to develop additional operating heat.
2. After engine has warmed up, rotate Choke Knob to RUN Position.

2. Push rocker switch to ON position.
3. Rotate Choke Knob to CHOKE position.
4. Prime system: 3 primes maximum. DO NOT over

hole before the primer is compressed. Hold the
primer bulb in the compressed position for one full
second each time you press it and remove thumb
from primer completely between primes. Repeat
