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. Please 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 problems.
Do not cause fuel tank to overflow, but
leave a 5 mm margin for the fuel to ex-
pand.
W
Be careful when dealing with
fuel. Great danger of fire!
Never refill fuel close to open
fire, inflammable sparks or hot engine
parts.
l Do not refill fuel in closed rooms.
l Do not smoke when refilling!
l Refill only with the engine switched
off and cooled down.
l Do not spill any fuel, use a proper
filling device.
Each time you take up operation, i.e.
before you start the engine, check
whether
l the fuel tank contains enough fuel,
l the oil filling mark in the pot of the oil
bath air filter shows an adequate level of
engine oil (filling quantity approx. 50 ml).
l transmission oil level in manual gear-
box reaches the control opening (B/28)
(for checking, bring engine into horizon-
tal position).
W
Only take power hoe into op-
eration with all protective de-
vices mounted and positioned
to provide protection!
l Careful when starting the engine in
closed rooms!
l Ensure good ventilation and fast
escape of exhaust fumes. Exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide
which acts toxic when inhaled.
l Do not touch the hot engine – dan-
ger of burns!
l Do not touch the ignition cable and
do touch or remove ignition spark
connector while the engine is running.
