On/Off Stop Control is in the ON ( I ) position at all
times (Fig. 19).
2.
Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the
primer bulb and fuel lines (Fig. 20). If you can’t see
fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many
times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.

Place the blue choke lever in Position 1 (Fig. 20).
Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 21), squeeze the
throttle lock-out and throttle control (Fig. 19), and pull
the starter rope out with a controlled and steady
motion 5 times.
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.
