Starting/Stopping Instructions - Craftsman 316.794800 Manual Del Operador

WARNING:
Operate this unit only in a well-
ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust
fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure
you are in the starting position when pulling the starter
rope (Fig. 17). To avoid serious injury, the operator and
unit must be in a stable position while starting.
To avoid serious personal injury, make sure that the
blower tube is locked in place or firmly installed.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
COLD START:
1. Check the oil level in the crankcase. Refer to Checking
the Oil Level.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline.
Refer to Fueling the Unit.
3. Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times, slowly.
Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer
bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 15). If you can't see fuel in the
bulb, press and release the bulb as many times as it
takes before you can see fuel in it.
4. Place the choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 15).
NOTE: The unit should be started in idle. Do not squeeze
the trigger while starting (Fig. 16).
5. Crouch in the starting position and pull the starter rope
out about 4 inches, then pull 4 times in a controlled
and steady motion to start engine (Fig. 17).
IF... the engine does not start, place the choke lever in
Position 2 (Fig. 15) and pull 4 times in smooth and rapid
pulls to start engine.
6. Place the choke lever in Position 2 (Fig. 15) and allow
the engine to warm up for 5–10 seconds.
7. Place the choke lever in Position 3 (Fig. 15). The unit is
ready for use.
IF... the engine does not start, follow steps 3 through 7 again.
WARM RESTART: If the unit is already hot, place the choke
lever in Position 3 and pull the starter rope to restart.
The unit should be started in idle. Do not squeeze the
trigger while starting (Fig. 16).
NOTE: The unit uses the Incredi-Pull™ starting system
with MAX FIRE IGNITION™ , which significantly
reduces the effort required to start the engine. You
must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the
engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the
rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when
pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly
different from (and much easier than) what you may
be used to.
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release your hand from the trigger. Allow the engine to cool
down by idling.
2. Press the On/Off Stop Control switch in the OFF (O) position
and hold until the engine comes to a complete stop (Fig. 16).
