1. Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture. See
Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
2. Make sure the On/Off Stop Control in the ON (I)
position (Fig. 16).
3. 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. 17). 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.
4. Push the EZ-Start™ Lever towards the primer bulb
until it clicks and locks into place (Fig. 17).
5. Crouch in the starting position and do not squeeze the
throttle control (Fig. 18). Pull the starter rope out with a
controlled and steady motion until the engine attempts
to start. Repeat until the engine starts.
NOTE: The unit uses Advanced Starting Technology™,
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.
6. When the engine starts, (for the 60-2312-2 brushcutter
only, hold down the throttle lock-out) squeeze the
throttle control for 15 to 30 seconds. This will warm up
the unit. The EZ-Start™ Lever will click off
automatically when you squeeze the throttle control.
IF... The engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF... The engine stops while you are squeezing the throttle,
go back to step 4.
IF... The engine stops before you squeeze the throttle
control, hold the throttle control and pull the starter
rope until the trimmer starts.
NOTE: If you are having trouble starting the unit or are
operating in extreme temperatures (below 40º F,
above 90º F), refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Operate this unit only in a
well- ventilated outdoor
area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in
a confined area.
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting.
Make sure you are in the
starting position when pulling the starter rope
(Fig. 18). To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit
must be in a stable position while starting.
To avoid serious personal injury, ensure any Add-
On being used is installed correctly and secure
before starting the unit.
