NOTE: The starting position of the choke will vary depending on the engine temperature. If

CHOKE
RUN
Rapid retraction (also known as kickback) of the engine recoil starter cord will pull your
hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go of the handle resulting in
sprains, broken bones, lacerations, and/or traumatic amputations. Kickback is caused
by damage to the engine crankshaft key, compression release failure, and/or improper
starting techniques. To avoid kickback follow the appropriate maintenance schedule,
starting instructions and have repair work done by an authorized service center.
RAPID RETRACTION
Never allow the tank water level to fall below a level of one inch above the outlet pipe of
the tank. If the tank fully drains, pump damage may occur from lack of water and you will
only be able to rell the tank from a pressurized water source. When you approach this
level, TURN OFF THE ENGINE.
PUMP DAMAGE
6. Pull the recoil slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to start the engine.
CHOKE
RUN
7. Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to RUN as the engine runs. If
the engine falters, move the choke toward CHOKE until the engine has warmed up.
