Difficult Starting (or starting a flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started
after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by
following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Ensure
the ON/STOP switch is in the ON position. Starting could require
pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how
badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE (page 23).
Engine is Flooded
If you did not move the choke lever to warm start, quickly enough
after the engine began to fire, the combustion chamber is flooded.
• Set the on/off swich to
STOP.
• Engage a suitable tool in the spark plug boot (Fig. 27).
• Pry off the spark plug boot.
• Unscrew and dry off the spark plug.
• Open the throttle wide.
• Pull the starter rope several times to clear the combustion
chamber.
• Refit the spark plug and connect the spark plug boot, press it
down
firmly.
• Set the on/off swich to I, the starting position.
• Set the choke lever to warm start – even if engine is cold.
• Now start the engine.
Stopping The Engine
Release the throttle trigger (B, Fig. 28) and let the engine return
to idle.
To stop the engine, move the on/off switch
(A) to the “ STOP ”
position. Do not put the hedge trimmer on the ground when the
blade is still moving.
In the event that the
“ STOP ” position of the switch will not func-
tion, pull the choke lever in CLOSE position (refer to
Fig. 26B) to
stop the engine.
Pre-operation checking
WARNING: THE HEDGE TRIMMER SHOULD NEVER
MOVE AT IDLE. Turn the idle speed screw “T” coun-
terclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the
blade, or contact a Servicing Dealer for adjustment
and discontinue use until the repair is made.
Serious personal injury may result from the blade
moving at idle.
