During the first 20 operating hours
(break-in period) do not use engine to
maximum power.
Even after break-in period never use
engine at higher speed than necessary
for the work in hand.
I
High engine speed is harm-
ful to any engine and con-
siderably affects its durabil-
ity. This applies especially for no load
operation. Any overspeed (have the
engine roar) can result in immediate
damage.
Cooling System
Cooling system is fan-cooled. Therefore
keep grille at recoil starter and cooling
ribs of cylinder clean and free from
sucked-in plant trash.
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justed correcty. At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to idle, the
engine is supposed to run smoothly and
without run-out.
Air Filter
The air filter purifies the air intake. A
clogged filter reduces engine output.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with a mainte-
nance-free, contactless electronic igni-
tion system. We recommend to have
necessary check-ups done by an expert
only.
Speed Control Lever
The speed control lever (B/9) on the
steering handle is for stepless setting
of engine speed from min. = idle to max.
= full throttle.
