Start throttle lock: Press in the throttle trigger lock, throttle 
control and then the start throttle lock (A). Release the throttle

Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but 
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Put your right foot on 
the lower section of the rear handle pressing the machine 
against the ground. Never wrap the starter cord around 
your hand
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.
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.
When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle to 
automatically disengage fast idle.
