2M41 two-cylinder engines
– Turn the decompression lever to position „2“
(Figure 18).
3M41 three-cylinder engines
20
– Turn the decompression levers for cylinders 1
and 3 (counting from the fan end) to position
„2“ (Figures 18 and 20).
– Turn the decompression lever for cylinder 2 to
position „3“.
4M41 four-cylinder engines
– Turn the decompression levers for cylinders 1,
3 and 4 (counting from the fan end) to posi-
tion „2“ (Figures 18 and 20).
– Turn the decompression lever for cylinder 2 to
position „3“.
Starting procedure

The maximum speed of rotation must have been
reached by the time the decompression lever
