4. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 14) and slowly pull it out. The
resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corre-
sponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly
and smoothly for starting.
3. Push down the decompression lever (Figure 13) and re-
lease.
This section is intended to assist the operator with the

Operation
1. Once the engine has started, move the engine speed lever
quickly
to the
FAST
(Figure 15) position.
2. With the engine speed control lever placed in the FAST
position, the engine speed should be between 2,300 ~2,600
RPM’s, therefore engaging the centrifugal clutch.
ALWAYS
move the throttle lever
quickly without hesitation,
because increasing the engine
speed slowly causes the clutch
to slip.
