Preparing For Use; Regular Maintenance - Active A-T143 Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING: if the drill for any reason locks into the soil
release immediately the throttle trigger otherwise the
clutch could be damaged.
- To free the drill procede as follows: lock the P.T.O. by pushing
and turning clokwise the button (A) Fig.3 (turn clockwise or
counterclockwise the machine till the reduction gear is locked).
Then turn the machine (by the handles) counterclockwise till

FUEL
WARNING. The machine is equipped with a two stroke engine.
Always run the machine with fuel, which is mixed with oil.
Only prepare the quantity of fuel for each job. Do not smoke.
Refill when the engine is switched off and away from naked
flame. AIways use a minimum octane number of 95 RON.
Mix fresh gasoline and ACTIVE oil in the ratio of 50:1 (2%). If
ACTIVE oil is not available use a good 2 stroke oil quality in
the ratio of 25:1 (4%) see fig.4
Important: always shake this fuel mix vigorously each time
you use it. Fuel mix properties deteriorate with time(except if
ACTIVE oil is used because it contains an additive to stabilize
the fuel) we therefore recommend that you only make the
quantity of fuel mix you will need for each usage. Do not use
fuel mix more than a week old as this could damage the
engine. Fill the fuel tank only to 3/4 capacity to allow for fuel
expansion.
FUELING
WARNING: always shut off the engine before refueling.
Slowly open the cap of the fuel tank, when filling up
with fuel, so that possible over pressure disappears. Tighten
the fuel cap carefully after fuelling. Always move the machine
at least 3 m (10Ft) from the fueling area before starting.
Before fueling clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure
that no dirt falls into the tank make sure that the fuel is well
mixed by shaking the container before fueling
STARTING
WARNING: in order to avoid any accidents, before starting the
engine,lock the gear box as follow.
From time to time make sure all the screw are firmly secured.
Replace damaged, worn, cracked or warped parts. Always
make sure the drill have been assembled correctly.

From time to time (at least every 50 hours) remove and clean
the spark plug and check the electrode gap (0.5 - 0.6mm.).
Replace spark plug about every 100 working hours or whenever
it is extremely encrusted. Heavily encrusted electrodes can
result from an incorrect carburetor setting or from wrong fuel
mixture (too much oil in the fuel) or a poor quality oil in the fuel
mix. Check and correct.
