When pulling the starter rope, do not use the
full extent of the rope as this can cause the
rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap
back. Hold the handle and let the rope re-
wind slowly.
For cold weather starting, start the unit at
FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to warm up
before squeezing the throttle trigger.

Allow the engine to run for approximate-
ly 30 seconds. Then, squeeze and re-
lease the throttle trigger to allow engine
