FLOODED ENGINE.
8. Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10
seconds, then move the choke lever to the
OFF CHOKE position. Allow the unit to run
for 30 more seconds at OFF CHOKE be-
fore releasing the throttle trigger.
NOTE: If engine dies with the choke lever
in the OFF CHOKE position, move the
choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position
and pull the rope until engine runs, but no
more than 6 pulls.

position.
2. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger. Keep

rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it
is probably flooded.
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by placing
the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position;
then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex-
cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter
handle many times depending on how badly
the unit is flooded.
If the unit still doesn't start, refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call

_WARNING:
Always wear eye protec-
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently
when the engine is run at less than full throttle.
At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and
vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will
be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the
engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
