INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE EARTH AUGERS
4.5 Engine starting
Proceed as follows to start the engine:
Fig.15
Fig.16
1)
After carefully completing all the operations required for
preparation and fuel supply, set the gas control lever and the red button
in the START position.
2)
Grasp the handlebar of the earth auger firmly with your left hand
and press the throttle lever. Use your right hand to slowly pull on the
cord until it engages the sprockets on the flywheel (Fig. 15).
3)
Follow the instructions regarding the carburetor provided below and
then pull the starting cord with force until the machine starts up. Never
pull the starting cord all the way out in order to avoid damaging its
connection mechanism.
The earth-augers NEA450 ST, NEA560 ST, NEA610 ST are equipped
with a decompression valve that facilitates the starting of the engine by
reducing the amount of force to be applied to the starting cord when
the machine is being started. In order to start these types of earth
augers, press the decompression valve button (Fig. 16) positioned on
the cylinder at the side of the starting and then proceed as indicated in
point 1.
Engine starting:
•
with the engine cold, press the priming bulb 5-6 times until mixture flows out of the respective discharge hose (in
order to completely fill all the carburettor chambers);
•
set the air lever in the CLOSE position, and pull the starting cord for 1 - 2 times until the engine starts firing. Even
if no firing sounds are heard, return the air lever to the OPEN position;
•
pull the starting cord once again until the engine starts. If the engine fails to start after the fourth pull, repeat the
operations above starting from first point.
If, despite all these attempts, the engine fails to start, the combustion chamber must be flooded. In this case, unscrew,
remove and dry the spark-plug and pull the starting cord several times without the spark-plug in position in order to
clean/ventilate the combustion chamber.
IMPORTANT: all these operations are not to be performed when the engine is already hot; but with the button in
the central position it is sufficient to merely pull the starting cord until the engine starts.
Please refer to the section engine instruction manual for further information about the engine.
