Starting/Stopping Instructions - MTD YARD MACHINERY MCT33360E Manual Del Dueño/Operador

STARTING A COLD ENGINE
WARNING:
outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes
can be lethal in a confined area.
NOTE: To minimize the load on the engine during starting
and warm-up, trim any excess trimming line.
Leave about 5 inches (13 cm) of line from the
cutting attachment (Fig. 5).
1. Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture.
See Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
2. Move the ignition switch to the Run position (Fig. 6).
3. Move choke lever to Position 1 (Fig. 7).
4. Prime the carburetor by fully pressing and releasing
the primer bulb 10 times (Fig. 8).
5. Grip the handle firmly and press the safety trigger
and press/squeeze the throttle trigger to the Full
Throttle position (Fig. 6).
6. Pull the starter rope out a short way until you feel
resistance (approximately 4"). Then continue with a
smooth rapid pull (for a strong spark). Pull the rope
briskly in this manner 4 times (Fig. 9).
7. Move the choke lever to Position 2.
8. With the throttle trigger still in the Full Throttle
position, pull the starter rope 4 more times.
9. When the engine starts, leave the choke lever in
Position 2 for about 10 seconds, so the unit can
warm up.
10. Move the choke lever to Position 3. The trimmer is
ready for use.
If engine fails to start, repeat everything from Step 2 on.
NOTE: Always pull the starter rope straight out. If you pull it
at an angle, the rope will rub against the eyelet. This
friction may cause the rope to fray a wear more
quickly. Always hold the starter handle when the
rope retracts. Never allow the rope to snap back
from an extended position. This could damage the
starter assembly or cause the rope to snag.
NOTE: Idling Information: in some cases due to
operating conditions (extreme altitude,
temperature, etc.), your unit may need a slight
adjustment to its idle speed. If your unit does not
idle after restarting two times, refer to Adjusting
the Idle Speed.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
1. Move the ignition switch to the Run position (Fig. 6).
2. Move choke lever to Position 1 (Fig. 7).
3. Grip the handle firmly and press/hold the safety
trigger. Then press the throttle trigger to the Full
Throttle position (Fig. 6).
4. Pull the starter rope briskly until the engine starts. Do
NOT pull it more than 6 TIMES. Keep the throttle
trigger at the Full Throttle position until the engine
runs smoothly.
NOTE: If the engine doesn't start, place the choke in
Position 3 and pull the starter rope 5 times. If the
engine doesn't then start, the engine is probably
flooded. Wait 5 minutes and then repeat the
procedure with the choke in Position 3 and the
throttle trigger in Full Throttle.
