Commissioning
Please note that durability and opera-
tional safety of the engine depend to a
large extent on its breaking-in. Always
allow a cold engine to warm up for some
minutes and never run it at full throttle
at the beginning.
Note: For the first 20 hours of operation
(break-in period) do not use the engine
at full power.
I
Make sure you check and
maintain air filters regularly
and use clean fuel. Only use
branded petrol.
Only use fresh, clean fuel (not older than
3 months) and approved fuel cans to
be purchased in special shops. Rusty
sheet metal cans or fuel cans not suited
for petrol are not permitted.
For the first commissioning or after
longer periods of no operation, fill fuel
tank to maximum to avoid starting prob-
lems.
Do not cause fuel tank to overflow, but
leave a 5 mm margin for the fuel to ex-
pand.
