1. Placer sur une surface plane : Place the trimmer on a flat, stable surface, ensuring the cutting head is clear of any obstructions.
2. Levier de starter: Move the choke lever to the "COLD START" or "FULL CHOKE" position.
3. Ampoule d'amorçage : Press the primer bulb repeatedly (typically 5-7 times) until fuel is visible in the clear return line.
4. Tirer sur le cordon de démarrage : Saisissez fermement la poignée du lanceur et tirez sur le cordon d'un mouvement régulier et fluide jusqu'à ce que le moteur démarre (généralement 1 à 3 coups). Ne tirez pas le cordon au maximum.
5. Choke to Half: Once the engine fires, immediately move the choke lever to the "HALF CHOKE" position.
6. Redémarrage: Tirez à nouveau sur le cordon du lanceur jusqu'à ce que le moteur démarre et tourne correctement.
7. Choke Off: Once the engine is running, move the choke lever to the "RUN" or "OFF CHOKE" position. Allow the engine to warm up for 30-60 seconds before operating.
