There are two things (fitting the throttle cable and two electric wires to the machine) that must be
connected from the control handle onto the machine. in order to do this you must first remove the air
filter plastic cover which is held on by a hand tighten knob. Take great care when doing this to make sure
the air filter is not damaged or gets dirty.
Remove the air filter cover by loosening the knob (see Fig 2). Then locate the throttle cable into the
slotted metal connector. Tighten the nut that holds the threaded bolt in place.(see Fig3).
Please note: new cable stretches. Check /re-adjust after using for a short while.
The two electric wires (that allow you stop/start the engine from the control handle) are colour coded red
and black. You should connect the red to red and black to black (see Fig 4),make sure the connection is
tight and that the plastic sleeves cover the connection to keep the connection water tight. Then re-fit the
air filter cover and tighten securely.(see Fig 5)

Starting The Engine Whilst Wearing The Backpack:
This Eckman equipment is fitted with Easy Start that requires considerably less power to turn the engine
over and an Extended Starter Handle fixed to the frame to allow the user to re-start the engine whilst
wearing the backpack. It is recommended when starting the engine for the very first time or in cold
conditions, to start the engine on the ground to begin with and let it warm up for a minute. Then switch it
off and fit the backpack. Re-starting the engine from warm whilst still wearing the backpack should not be a
problem.
