manual abstract
• Start and run engine outdoors. • Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open. CAUTION: This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before you start the engine, make sure you add oil according to the instructions in this manual. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered under warranty. Determine The Starting System Before starting the engine, you must determine the type of starting system that is on your engine. Your engine will have one of the following types. • Ready Start® System: This features a temperature controlled automatic choke. It does not have a manual choke or a primer. • Primer System: This features a red primer to be used for starting in cool temperatures. It does not have a manual choke. To start your engine, follow the instructions for your type of starting system. Ready Start® System -Figure 56 1. Check the oil level. See the How To Check/Add Oil section. 2. Make sure equipment drive controls, if equipped, are disengaged. See the equipment manual for location and operation of these controls. 3. Move the throttle control (A, Figure 5), if equipped, to the fast position. Operate the engine in the fast position. 4. If the product is equipped with an engine stop lever (C), hold the engine stop lever against the handle (Figure 6). 5. Rewind Start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (D). Pull the starter cord handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly (Figure 5). Note: If the engine does not start after three attempts, go to BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA). WARNING: Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. 6. Electric Start: Turn the electric start switch to the on/start position. See the equipment manual for the location and operation of the switch. Note: If the engine does not start after three attempts, go to BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA). CAUTION: To extend the life of the starter, use short starting cycles (five seconds maximum). Wait one minute between starting cycles. Primer System -Figure 56 1. Check the oil level. See the How To Check/Add Oil section. 2. Make sure equipment drive controls, if equipped, are disengaged. See the equipment manual for location and operation of these controls. 3. Move the throttle control (A, Figure 5), if equipped, to the fast position. Operate the engine in the fast position. 4. Push the red primer (B) three times. Note: Priming is usually unnecessary when restarting a warm engine. Note: If you push the primer too many times, excessive fuel will flood the engine and it will be difficult to start. 5. If the product is equipped with an engine stop lever (C), hold the engine stop lever against the handle (Figure 6). 6. Rewind Start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (D). Pull the starter cord handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly (Figure 5). Note: If the engine does not start after three attempts, repeat Steps 4, 5, and 6. If it still does not start, go to BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA).
