Step 8 of 14: Pulling the starter rope handle

With your right hand, pull the starter handle slowly until you feel it reach the first light stop. On machines without ErgoStart, now give it a fast, strong pull on the starter rope. On machines with ErgoStart, pull the starter rope gently, using even force. (Try to pull it up as straight as you can). Do not pull the rope all the way out.

Take care not to allow the starter handle to snap back rapidly. Guide it back slowly to allow the starter rope to rewind correctly.
