NOTE: The unit uses Spring Assist Starting™, which
significantly reduces the effort required to start the
engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough
to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need
to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance
when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is
vastly different from (and much easier than) what you
may be used to.

Place the blue choke lever in Position 2 (Fig. 10).
While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter
rope out with a controlled and steady motion until
the engine starts.
