STARTING A COLD ENGINE
NOTE:
To minimize load on engine during starting and
warm-up, trim excess cutter line to 13cm (Fig. 4A).
1. Move ignition switch to the “RUN (I)” position (Fig. 9B).
2. Your unit is designed with a 3 position choke: CHOKE
“
”, START “
”, and RUN “
”. Move choke lever to
CHOKE “
” position (Fig. 4B).
3.
Prime the carburetor. Pump the primer bulb (D) 10
times (Fig. 4C).
4.
Grip handle firmly – depress safety trigger (E) &
throttle trigger (F) to the FULL THROTTLE position
(Fig. 4D).
5.
Pull starter rope out a short way until resistance is felt
(approximately 100mm) (Fig. 4E). A smooth rapid
pull is required for a strong spark. Pull starter rope
briskly 4 times.
6.
Move choke lever to START “
” position (Fig. 4F).
7.
Pull starter rope again 4 times while trigger is in the
full throttle position (Fig. 4G)
8.
Once engine starts, leave in the START “
” position
for 10 seconds.
9.
Move the choke to RUN “
” position (Fig. 4H).
10. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 1 through 7.
NOTE:
If engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer
to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE:
Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling starter
at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eyelet. This
friction will cause the rope to fray and wear more quickly.
Always hold starter handle when rope retracts. Never
allow rope to snap back from extended position. This
could cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the
starter assembly.
•
WARM ENGINE START
1.
Move ignition switch to the “RUN ” position (Fig. 5A).
2.
Place choke in START “
” position (Fig. 5B).
3.
Grasp throttle handle firmly, squeeze throttle trigger
to FULL position.
4.
Pull starter rope briskly until engine starts, but no
more than 6 times. Keep throttle at FULL position until
engine runs smoothly.
5.
If engine does not start, place choke in RUN “
”
position and pull starter rope 5 more times. If engine
still does not start it is probably flooded. Wait 5 min-
utes and repeat procedure with choke in RUN “
”
position and throttle full open.
•
TO STOP ENGINE
Release throttle trigger. Let engine return to idle. Push and
hold ignition stop switch until engine
stops.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION
WARNING
: Never use straight gasoline in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine dam-
age and void the manufacturer’s warranty for
that product. Never use a fuel mixture that
has been stored for over 90 days.
WARNING
: If 2-cycle lubricant other than
Talon Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must
be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines mixed at a 25:1 ratio. Do not use any
2-cycle oil product with a recommended mix-
ing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is
the cause of engine damage, it voids the
manufacturer’s engine warranty.
WARNING
: Lack of lubrication voids engine
warranty. Gasolilne and oil must be mixed at
25:1.
