• Cold starting
A “cold” start of the engine
means starting it after at least 5 minutes from when
it was switched off or after refuelling.
To start the engine (Fig. 8):
1. Press the lock lever (3), activate the throttle (2)
and holding them in this position, move the
switch (1) to the «START» position, then re-
lease the lever (3) and the throttle (2).
2. Operate the starter, turning lever (5) to
«CHOKE».
NOTE
STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine must be star-
ted in an area at least 3 metres from where you
refilled the fuel tank.
Before starting the engine:
– Place the machine firmly on the ground.
– Remove the guard from the blade (if used).
– Make sure the blade (if used) is not touching the
ground or any other object.
Periodically clean the petrol
and fuel mixture containers to remove any eventual
deposits.
REFUELLING
Never smoke whilst refu-
elling and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
Carefully open the tank
top as pressure could have formed inside.
Before refuelling:
– Shake the fuel mixture container well.
– Place the machine on a flat stable surface, with
the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
– Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding area
to avoid any dirt from entering the tank during re-
filling.
– Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the
pressure inside to decrease gradually. Use a
funnel to refill and avoid filling the tank to the
brim.
Always close the fuel tank
cap firmly.
Immediately clean all tra-
ces of fuel which may have dripped on the
machine or the ground and do not start the en-
gine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.
IMPORTANT
– Keep the petrol and fuel mixture in homolog-
ated fuel containers, in safe place, away
from any flames or heat sources.
– Never leave the containers within the reach
of children.
– Never smoke whilst preparing the mixture
and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
The chart indicates the amount of petrol and oil to
use to prepare the fuel mixture according to the
type of oil used.
To prepare the fuel mixture:
– Place about half the amount of petrol in a homo-
logated tank.
– Add all the oil, according to the chart.
– Add the rest of the petrol.
– Close the top and shake well.
The fuel mixture tends to
age. Do not prepare excessive amounts of the fuel
mixture to avoid deposits from forming.
Keep the petrol and fuel mix-
ture containers separate and easily identifiable to
avoid the mistake of using one in place of the other.
