4400 preheat?

[790guy]

I was talking with my brother the other day and told him how well the 790's preheat works. turning key backwords for 20 seconds. Does the 4400 have a switch operated preheat? he has just started with no preheat and he says it really runs rough.

from the 4410 Manual:

A-Start Position - Turn the key to the start position to start the engine. Release the key after the engine has started and it will automatically return to the run position. The engine will continue to run.

B-Run Position - Turn the key to the run position and the engine oil pressure light and battery charging lights should illuminate. You will also hear a clicking noise when the engine fuel shut-off solenoid engages. With the key in the run position, push the key in to activate the intake air heater system.
C-Off Position - With the key in the off position, all switched power is off, and the engine should not run.


So, it's there... If he has a 4400, his machine may have a slightly different process. But I'm sure there's some kind od cold weather starting assist.

He needs to become familiar with his manual. On my 4300, turn the key on, and push in for a few seconds to pre-heat. Makes a world of difference on how well it runs when cold.
