5 STARTING, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
MACHINERY
5.1 BEFORE STARTING WORK
5.1.1. The mechanisms of this machine are lubricated by means of an oil bath. Check the oil
level using the visor situated at the rear beneath the bellow. If oil cannot be seen through the visor,
add oil until half the visor is covered.
5.1.2. Fill the fuel tank with the appropriate type of fuel for the engine your machine is provided
with, according to the table below:
ENGINE TYPE
HONDA GX120 HONDA GX100 ROBIN ER12 ROBIN EH12 YANMAR L48
UNLEAD PETROL GAS-OIL A
TYPE OF FUEL
When filling the tank, be sure to filter the fuel with a strainer. Do not forget to replace the fuelling cap
and close it. Failure to do this is dangerous, as the vibration of the machine may cause spillages of
fuel that then ignite and burn.
5.1.3 Be sure to check the tension of every bolt, nut or threaded area. A screw that has come
loose due to vibration may unexpectedly cause a serious problem. Make sure that all screws are
tightened.
5.1.4. Remove all dirt and dust. Pay special attention to cleaning the area adjacent to the
starter and the leg.
5.2 STARTING UP THE MACHINE
5.2.1. Open the fuel tap by moving the air regulator lever downwards, and put the choke valve
lever in the half-open position. To start the engine cold, move the air regulator lever to the closed
position. When the engine is hot, the air regulator should be half-open or completely open. If it
proves difficult to start the engine, make sure that the air regulator lever is half-open to prevent the
carburettor from flooding due to excess fuel.
5.2.2. When pulling the starter rope, do not apply full pressure for the whole length, as this may
damage the spring. Do not suddenly release the rope in order to repeat the process once the engine
has started. Hold on to the rope, and slowly release until it has fully returned to position.
