Move the throttle lever (2) to the centre position - this is the starting throttle position. The throttle lever can be used to select any throttle opening between idle speed (lower stop) and full throttle (upper stop). Set the lever (2) to idle position before switching off the engine. 5.1. Before starting. 5.1.1. If the engine is cold, turn the choke knob to the closed position (1). 5.1.2. If the engine is warm, turn the choke lever to open position (2). Also use this position is the engine has been running but is still cold. 5.1.3. Put the unit on the ground. Check that bystanders are well clear of the general work area and the nozzle. 5.1.4. Make sure you have a firm footing: 5.1.4.1. Hold the unit (1) with your left hand on the housing and put one foot against the base plate to prevent it slipping. 5.1.4.2. Pull the starter grip (2) slowly with your right hand until you feel it engage and give it a brisk strong pull. DO NOT pull the starter rope out all the way as it might otherwise break. 5.1.4.3. DO NOT let the starter grip snap back. Instead guide it slowly back into the housing so that the starter rope can rewind properly. Page 11 Rev 2 5.2. When engine begins to fire: 5.2.1. If engine is cold: 5.2.1.1. Turn choke knob to the open position (2) and continue cranking until engine runs. 5.2.2. If engine is warm: 5.2.1.2. Continue cranking until engine runs. 5.2.3. As soon as engine runs: 5.2.3.1. Move the setting lever (2) to the lower stop so that the engine settles down to idle speed. 4 5.2.4. To shut down the engine: 5.2.4.1. Slide the stop switch (1) to OFF. 5.2.5. At very low outside temperatures: 5.2.5.1. Allow engine to warm up 5.2.5.2. As soon as engine runs: 5.2.5.2.1. Move the setting lever to the lower stop - the engine settles down to idle speed. Open throttle slightly - warm up the engine for a short period. 5.2.6. If the engine does not start: 5.2.6.1. If the choke knob was moved quickly enough to the open position after the engine begins to fire, the combustion chamber will have become flooded. 5.2.6.2. To clear the excess fuel, pull off the spark plug cap, unscrew and dry off the spark plug. 5.2.6.3. Set the stop switch to OFF 5.2.6.4. Open the throttle fully. 5.2.6.5.

Turn the choke knob to open position even if the engine is cold. 5.2.7. Run fuel tank until dry and then refuel. 5.2.7.1. Pull the starter rope several times to prime the fuel line. Page 12 Rev 2 6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 During running-in period. 6.1.1. A new machine should not be run at high revs (full throttle off load) for the first three tank fillings. This avoids unnecessary high loads during the break-in period. As all moving parts have to bed-in during the running-in period, the friction resistances in the engine are greater during this period. The engine will develop its maximum power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings. 6.2. During operation. 6.2.1. After a long period of full-throttle operation, you must allow engine to run for a while at idle speed so that the heat in the engine can be dissipated by flow of cooling air. This helps to protect the engine mounted components such as ignition and carburettor from thermal overload. 6.3. After finishing work. 6.3.1. Storing for short period: 6.3.1.1. Wait for engine to cool down. To avoid condensation, fill the fuel tank and keep the unit in a dry place until you need it again. 6.3.2. Storing the machine for periods of 3 months and longer. 6.3.2.1 Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated area. Drain and clean the container. 6.3.2.2. Run engine until carburettor is dry- this helps prevent carburettor diaphragms sticking together. 6.3.2.3. Thoroughly clean the machine- pay special attention to the cylinder fins and air filter. 6.3.2.4. Store the machine in a dry, high or locked location - out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons. 6.3.2.5. Do not expose the container to direct sunlight for unnecessarily long periods. UV rays can make the container material brittle, which could result in leaks or breakage. Page 13 Rev 2 7.
