PART THROTTLE FUNCTION (RX):

It is possible to set the engine for part throttle operation using 
the dial on the side of the throttle handle. Turn the dial up to 
decrease the part throttle rpm. Turn the dial down to increase 
the part throttle rpm. When you have set the part throttle rpm 
you will feel increased resistance when you press the throttle 
trigger. This increased resistance makes it easier to maintain 
a constant part throttle setting. To obtain full throttle, press the 
throttle trigger a little harder so that it goes past the part 
throttle setting. As soon as you release the throttle trigger the 
engine will return to idle. The part throttle function does not 
lock the engine at a given rpm, it is simply a brake that makes 
it easier to maintain the engine at a given rpm.

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left 
hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle, 
slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel 
some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and 
powerfully pull the cord. Never wrap the starter cord around 
your hand

Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the 
engine starts. return choke control to run position and apply 
full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage from the 
start setting.

CAUTION!  Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do 
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. 
This can damage the machine.

Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.

Models equipped with heating elements in the handles have 
an on/off switch on the throttle handle to control the heat. Both 
the left and right handles have heating elements that 
automatically maintain a temperature of roughly 70

° when the 

heat is turned on.
