4. Commissioning and Operation
Commissioning the
Machine
Please note that durability and opera-
tional safety of the engine depend to a
large extent on its breaking-in. Always
allow a cold engine to warm up for some
minutes and never run it at full throttle
at the beginning. Make sure the air filter
is serviced regularly and to use clean
fuel.
Please note: for the first 20 hours of
operation (break-in period) do not use
the engine at full power.
For this purpose, park the machine in
such a way that the engine is in a hori-
zontal position. For oil filling quantity and
quality see specifications.
Check the oil level.
l
Remove the oil filler plug (B/11)or dip-
stick (D/11).
l
The oil level must level with oil filling
opening or reach the mark max on the
oil dip-stick (fig. R), top up engine oil as
necessary.
l
Re-tighten the oil plug.
When the engine is running, the oil plug
must sit tight in the oil filler neck.
To avoid starting problems, top up fuel
before starting for the first time and af-
ter longer storage.
Before each operation:
l
Check the engine oil-level (fig. R), if
necessary – do not add too much oil.
l
Check whether the fuel tank contains
enough fuel.
Do not fill the fuel tank until the fuel over-
flows. Leave enough room (approx. 5
mm) for the fuel to expand.
W
Be careful when dealing with
fuel. Great danger of fire!
Never refill fuel close to open fire,
inflammable sparks or hot engine
parts.
l
Do not refill fuel in closed rooms.
l
Do not smoke when refilling!
l
Refill only with the engine
switched off and cooled down.
l
Do not spill any fuel, use a proper
filling device.
l
Do not start the engine in closed
rooms. Exhaust fumes contain car-
bon monoxide, which acts toxic when
inhaled.
l
Before starting the engine, move
all controls to neutral or idling posi-
tion.
l
Do not step near the coupled at-
tachment.
I
Note: For reasons of trans-
port, the machine
is not filled with engine
oil!
Before you operate the
engine the first time, fill in
engine oil!
