Starting with cold engine
Fig. 4

Fig. 5
Close choke with choke lever (5).
 Press primer (4) several times until fuel is visible
in the primer.
 Hold the machine with your left hand on the
carrying handle (15). With the right hand, slowly
pull out the starter handle (8) until resistance is
felt. Then pull quickly and forcibly until the
engine attempts to start (engine fires).
If the engine "tries" to start (ignite), set the
choke in the middle position (partially open)
and if necessary repeat the starting procedure. In
very cold ambient temperature, let the engine with
the choke in the middle position (partially open)
warm up briefly.
As soon as the engine runs smoothly, set the
choke in the open position.
Starting / Stopping the engine
Starting with warm engine after short stop
 Start the engine with choke in open
position.
Should the engine refuse to start despite several
starting attempts, the combustion chamber is most
likely flooded.
In this case we recommend you remove and dry
the spark plug (9). Set the ignition switch to "0".
Pull over engine several times, still with spark plug
removed. This will ventilate the combustion
chamber
Replace spark plug and repeat starting procedure.
Shutting off engine
 Release throttle lever and move throttle lock
lever to "min" position.
 After full load running bring the engine to idle for
20sec to cool down.
 Move ignition switch to "0" position until engine
stops.
