STARTING AND OPERATION
ENGINE CASING
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the en-
gine and battery, open the engine casing. The en-
gine must not be running when the casing is
opened.
Opening:
1. Ensure that the control arms are in their forward
positions.
2. Raise the seat lock (fig. 2) and fold the seat for-
wards.
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and
fold up the casing (fig. 3).
Closing:
Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and fold
down the casing (fig. 3).
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is folded down.
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Open the engine casing as above. Unscrew the fill-
er cap and fill with clean, lead-free petrol. You
must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil (fig.
6).
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting
the engine. Never remove the filler cap
or fill with petrol while the engine is
running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an
empty space (= at least 2-3 cm at the top of the
tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms
up without overflowing.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30
oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.
Slide it down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if
the level comes below it (fig. 7).
