Shut off the engine.
N Push the slide control in the 
direction of the arrow on the stop 
symbol (h) to STOP-0.
At very low outside temperatures
As soon as the engine runs:
N Blip the throttle trigger to disengage 
the starting throttle position. The 
slide control moves to the normal 
run position F – and the engine 
settles down to idle speed.
N Open the throttle slightly.
N Warm up the engine for a short 
period.
If engine does not start
Choke knob
If you did not turn the choke knob to e 
quickly enough after the engine began to 
fire, the combustion chamber is flooded.
N Turn the choke knob to e.
N Set the slide control, lockout lever 
and throttle trigger to the starting 
throttle position.
N Start the engine by pulling the 
starter rope briskly – 10 to 20 pulls 
may be necessary. 
If the engine still does not start
N Move the slide control to STOP-0.
N Remove the spark plug – see 
"Spark Plug".
N Dry the spark plug.
N Crank the engine several times with 
the starter to clear the combustion 
chamber.
N Refit the spark plug – see "Spark 
Plug".
N Move the slide control to START.
N Set the choke knob to e – even if 
the engine is cold.
N Now start the engine.
Throttle cable adjustment
N Check adjustment of throttle cable – 
see chapter on "Adjusting the 
Throttle Cable".
Fuel tank run until completely dry
N After refueling, press the manual 
fuel pump bulb at least five times – 
even if the bulb is filled with fuel.
N Set the choke knob according to 
engine temperature.
N Start the engine.
During break-in period
A factory-new machine should not be 
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for 
the first three tank fillings. This avoids 
unnecessary high loads during the 
break-in period. As all moving parts 
have to bed in during the break-in 
period, the frictional resistances in the 
engine are greater during this period. 
The engine develops its maximum 
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
After a long period of full throttle 
operation, allow the engine to run for a 
short while at idle speed so that engine 
heat can be dissipated by the flow of 
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition, 
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Wait for the 
engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank 
and keep the machine in a dry place, 
well away from sources of ignition, until 
you need it again. For longer out-of-
service periods – see "Storing the 
Machine".
