5.
Move engine speed control to “FAST” position. 
See Figures 21 and 22.
6.
Set choke control to “FULL CHOKE” position (see 
equipment manufacturer’s instructions). See Figure 24 
on page 12. Afterward, continue reading instructions 
below.
7.
Hold the primer bulb in for one full second each time 
you press it. See Figure 23.
• Make sure you cover vent hole with your thumb.
• Repeat twice for a total of three primes. 
 NOTES
DO NOT operate an electric starter for more than 5 seconds 
each attempt.
DO NOT use primer bulb to restart a warm engine after a 
short shutdown. Doing so will flood the engine and may 
result in equipment malfunction.
If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown, move 
engine speed control to “FAST” position and move choke 
control to “NO CHOKE” position. See Figures 21, 22 
and 24. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.
8.
Push starter button or turn ignition switch key (see 
equipment manufacturer’s instructions) to start engine. 
See "C. Check the Following Items" instructions on 
page 6. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.
 NOTE
If engine fails to start after 3 attempts repeat steps 2 thru 8.
9.
When engine starts:
a. Release starter button or ignition switch key. See 
Figure 20 on page 10. Afterward, continue reading 
instructions below.
b. Momentarily move choke control to “1/2 CHOKE” 
position until engine runs smoothly. See Figure 24 
on page 12. Afterward, continue reading instructions 
below.
c. Next, move choke control to “NO CHOKE” position. 
10. Move engine speed control to desired speed in “RUN” 
range. See Figures 21 and 22.
 NOTES
If engine starts but falters when choke control is moved to 
“NO CHOKE” position:
a. Momentarily move choke control back to “FULL 
CHOKE” position. 
b. Next, move choke control to “1/2 CHOKE” position 
until engine runs smoothly.
c. Finally, move choke control to “NO CHOKE” 
position. 
If engine dies after choke control is moved to “NO CHOKE” 
position repeat steps 2 thru 10 to restart engine.
11. If engine fires but does not continue to run, move 
choke control to “NO CHOKE” position and start 
engine. See Figure 24 on page 12. Afterward, 
continue reading instructions.
12. If engine fails to start after 3 attempts in the “NO 
CHOKE” position, move choke control to “FULL 
CHOKE” position and start engine.
 NOTE
When disconnecting power cord, always disconnect power 
cord from outlet first; then disconnect power cord from 
switch box on engine. See Figure 20 on page 10. Afterward, 
continue reading instructions below.
13. Disconnect power cord from outlet. See Figure 20 on 
page 10. Afterward, continue reading instructions
