Starting the petrol engine
• Set the gas lever to full.
• Pull the choke out and turn the starter
key to START position.
• Press the choke half in. Depending on
the weather conditions, you can then
push the choke back fully.
Note:
You can also start the petrol engine
using the starter handle on the right hand
side of the machine.
Warnings:
• Under no circumstances should you ever allow the engine to run for an extended period
(i.e. more 30 seconds) in a closed space. The exhaust fumes contain toxins that may cause
poisoning or suffocation.
• Before starting the engine, check that ventilation grilles are not blocked by any foreign
objects.
• If the engine does not start immediately, wait for a short while (> 5sec) before trying again.
If you do not do so, you may well damage the engine.
• Repeated, unsuccessful attempts to start the engine may point to a wet spark plug. It must
then be cleaned or replaced. Other possible causes can be found in Ҥ 9.7.1 The engine will
not start after a period of inactivity.”
