THROTTLE POSITION LEVER
The THROTTLE POSITION LEVER is de-
signed to allow setting engine speed
during blower use only. To avoid caus-
ing damage to the unit, DO NOT at-
tempt to use the throttle position lever
during vacuum use.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from
the carburetor and fuel lines and flits
them with fuel This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulls on the
starter rope. Activate primer bulb by
pressing it and allowing it to return to
its original position.
START LEVER
The START LEVER helps to supply fuel
to the engine to aid in starting. Activate
the starting system by moving the start
lever to the START position. DO NOT
squeeze the throttle trigger until the
engine has started and runs. After the
engine starts, allow the engine to
warm-up t 0-15 seconds, then fully
squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti-
vate the starting system (start tever re-
turns to RUN position).
