USING THE MACHINE
STARTING
WARNING! The engine must be started in an open or well-ventilated area! ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT EXHAUST GASES ARE TOXIC!
To start the engine:
1. Sit on the seat and press the brake pedal right down.
2. Put the transmission into neutral («N»).
3. Disengage the blades.
4. When starting from cold, move the throttle to the «CHOKE» position shown on the label, if
the engine is already warm, position the lever between «SLOW» and «FAST».
5. Electric start: put in the ignition key and turn to «ON» to make electrical contact, then turn
to «START» to start the engine. Release the key once the engine has started.
6. Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and pull gently on the starter handle until it begins to
resist, then pull quickly and forcefully upwards. Return the starter handle slowly to the rope
guide bolt after engine starts.
WARNING! Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it
gently to prevent damage to the starter.
7. After the machine has run for a few seconds, move the throttle to «FAST».
IMPORTANT! The choke must be closed as soon as possible. Using it when the
engine is already warm can foul the spark plugs and cause the engine to run
erratically.
NOTE: If there are engine starting problems, do not insist as you can risk running the
battery flat and flooding the engine. Turn the key to «STOP», wait for a few seconds
and then repeat the operation. If the malfunction persists, contact authorised
service center.
IMPORTANT! Always bear in mind that the safety devices prevent the engine
from starting if safety requirements have not been met. In these cases, once the
situation has been corrected, the key must first be turned back to «STOP» before
the engine can be restarted.
