OPERATION
Starting the Engine
1. Turn the key to the ON position.
2. Pull the engine stop switch up to the RUN position.
3. If equipped with electric start, turn the key to START to crank the
engine. Release the key to the ON position when the engine starts.
4. If not equipped with electric start, grasp the starter handle and pull
slowly until the recoil engages; then pull abruptly to crank the
engine.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after several attempts, slightly
depress the throttle (no more than 1/4
I open) while cranking
the engine. When the engine starts, immediately release the
throttle.
CAUTION
Engaging the starter when the engine is running WILL result in serious
engine damage, especially if the transmission is in reverse. Never engage
the starter when the engine is running.
WARNING
Don't pull the starter rope to the fully extended position and don't allow it to
snap back into the housing. Damage may result.
To avoid injury and/or engine damage, do not operate the electric starter or
pull-rope starter while the engine is running.
