Follow the instructions of the engine’s USE and MAINTENANCE
booklet, too and check that the clutch is in neutral position, lever
D (pic. 3). Then put the accelerator lever G in start position and
the switch I in position “ON”( pic. 1 ). Put lever B down , engine
stopping safety lever, and in the same time put lever C up ,
engaging/disengaging rotating tiller lever, then by hook A block
the levers (pic. 4 ). In this situation the tiller is disengaged and it is
possible to start the engine up.
For the engine starting up, take with one hand the start handle of
the recoil starter, part. E ( pic. 2 ), pull smoothly until the ratchet
gear engages and then pull sharply.
Once the engine starts, the rope has to be left gently as far as
completely wound. Now the accelerator lever G (pic.1) can be put
in the idling position and then the speed may be engaged. During
this operation pay much attention to the engine that must be in the
idling position.
For the tiller engagement ( always with the engine idling) take both
levers B and C ( pic. 4 ) and left slowly lever C . Lever B has to be
kept firm with a hand as the engine might stop, leaving it. After
this operations accelerate slowly in order to permit the engagement
of the centrifugal clutch, and consequently the movement of the
machine and the rotation of the tiller.
Moving only lever C it is possible to engage or disengage the tiller.
Lever C UP: tiller disengaged , lever C DOWN tiller engaged as
