9.1 COLD STARTING THE ENGINE –
FIGS. 16 – 19
Slide the START/STOP switch to the START
position.
Put your foot on the frame to help steady the
machine.
Pull the starter cord until the engine fires – it
should take only a few pulls.
Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds and then
move the choke lever halfway back towards the
on (open) position. Allow the engine to run for
another 5 seconds to warm up, then move the
choke lever to the fully open (on) position.
Note: Do not use the full length of the recoil starter
cord as this can cause breakage or premature
failure. Do not release the starter cord to recoil on
its own. Damage will occur to the mechanism.
Note: If there is a strong smell of fuel this indicates
that the engine may be flooded. Wait a few minutes
before attempting to restart the machine as if the
engine were warm i.e. no choke.
Once the motor has started, allow the motor to
warm up for a few minutes before commencing
tilling.
Slide the choke lever towards the
off (closed) position.
Pump the primer 6 to 8 times until you see
fuel flow through the transparent hose from the
fuel tank to the carburettor.
