7.
Press down on the compression release lever (figure 4, item 1), ensuring that it remains pressed downward.
NOTE
The compression release lever will spring shut when the engine rotates during starting attempts.
! CAUTION
A strong deliberate pull is required to prevent engine kickback and possible starting in the re-
verse rotational direction. If this occurs, immediately shut down the engine. Operation in the
reverse direction is characterized by the evidence of exhaust gases coming out of the intake filter.
Reverse operation does not allow full power operation or positive priming, and will cause dam-
age to the pump unit.
8.
Start the engine by pulling the recoil starter rope (figure 5, item 1).
