4. PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS

To ensure your safety and the maximum service
life of your equipment, it is very important that
you spend a little time checking your engine
before you start it. Before starting the engine,
make sure you remove any problems you find or
have them repaired by an authorised servicing
facility.
WARNING
Incorrect maintenance of this engine or
neglecting to remedy any problems
before starting the engine can cause
incorrect function, as a result of which
you could suffer a serious or fatal injury.
Always check the engine before you start
it and ensure that you remedy any
problems.
Always check the following items before you start
the engine.
1. Oil level in the engine (see chap. 6)
2. Fuel in the tank (see chap. 7)
3. Condition of the air filter (see chap. 8)
A dirty filter limits the air supply to the
combustion chamber, which reduces engine
power or causes it to run irregularly.
4. Perform a general check of the engine.
Make sure that the spark plug, exhaust muffler,
fuel tank cap and air filter have been installed
and secured.
Check for any fluid leaks and potentially
remove them.

5. Check the equipment powered by this engine.
Become familiar with the instructions for use of
the equipment powered by this engine and
implement all precautions and procedures that
must be adhered to before starting the engine.
5. STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE
WARNING
Petrol and its vapours are extremely
flammable and explosive. Fire or
explosion could cause serious burns and
death.
WARNING
The exhaust gases may contain carbon
monoxide, which is poisonous,
colourless and odourless. This gas
causes dizziness, nausea and death if
inhaled.
− Always start the engine outside.
− Do not start the engine in enclosed
spaces, even if you open the windows
and doors.
WARNING
Do not start the engine if the spark plug
is not installed. Sparks may cause a fire
or injury by electrical current.
An unintentionally started engine could
cause clothing, etc. to be caught, injury
or lacerations.
1. Open the fuel shut-off valve to the carburettor,
if the engine is fitted with one.
2. Move the throttle lever to the CHOKE (R, fig.
5.1.) position.
Note:
You do not usually have to use the
choke if you are starting a warm engine
repeatedly. When starting a warmed-up
engine, put the throttle lever in the FAST (S,
fig. 5.1) position.
If the engine is equipped with one, press the
fuel pump button 3x (P, fig. 5.2).
3. In models equipped with an engine safety
brake (on the equipment) press this lever.
4. Manual starting: Grip the starter handle (H)
firmly. Pull the cord slowly until you begin to
feel resistance. Then pull quickly. Let the cord
retract freely.
