SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
If this warning is ignored, it could result in death, serious injuries or damage to property.
DO NOT run the engine in an unventilated area. (Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odourless deadly toxin).
DO NOT put your hands or feet into moving or rotating parts.
DO NOT store, spill or use petrol near any ignition source, including unshielded flames or near
furnaces or water heaters that have permanent flames or which could produce sparks.
DO NOT refuel the device inside buildings or non ventilated areas.
DO NOT remove the cover of the fuel tank or fill the fuel tank when the engine is still hot or
running. (The engine should cool for at least 2 minutes before refuelling).
DO NOT run the engine if petrol has been spilled or it smells of petrol or if there is any other
danger of explosion. (Shift the device away from petrol and avoid sparks until volatilised).
DO NOT transport the engine if there is fuel in the tank or the fuel shut-off valve is open.
DO NOT modify the parts to increase the revolution speed. (Always run the engine at speed set by
the producer of the device).
DO NOT use a removed spark plug to determine whether it is sparking.
DO NOT start the engine if the spark plug has been removed. (If the engine is over oiled, bring the
throttle to “full throttle“ (quick) and start up the engine).
DO NOT run the engine without sound absorber. Check the sound absorber on a regular basis and
replace if necessary.
DO NOT run the engine if there is an accumulation of grass, leaves or other flammable material
under, on or behind the sound absorber.
DO NOT touch the sound absorber, the cylinder or the radiator when they are hot – it could cause
burns.
DO NOT start up the engine if the air filter or air filter cover have been removed.
TO AVOID ACCIDENTIAL START UP during maintenance works of the engine or the device remove
the ignition cable.
Keep the cylinder fins and control parts free from dirt and other foreign substances, which could
affect the revolution speed.
Starting
Slowly pull the starter until you feel resistance. Then pull the starter strongly in order to avoid
backstroke and injuries to hand or arm.
USE FRESH PETROL . >95 octane lead-free
Use the original spare parts/materials of Act Safe Systems only. Warranty will be void if
any other spare parts are used.
