OPERATION

Starting the Engine

NOTICE: 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.

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.

TIP: 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.

5. If the engine does not start after several attempts, slightly depress

the throttle (no more than 1/4I open) while cranking the engine.

When the engine starts, immediately release the throttle.
