Engine
Caution!
High speeds are damaging for every engine and affect the life span considerably. This particu-
larly applies for operation without loading!
Overrotating - letting it roar - of the engine can even lead to immediate damages.
The choices of:
•
Four-stroke gasoline engine with normal lead-free gas
•
Four-stroke diesel engine, which can only be operated with pure diesel oil
are installed.
During the first 20 operating hours - warm-up time - do not load the engine to the limit of its
capacity.
Also after the warm up time the principle applies not to give more gas than is required for the
work being performed.
Work in an environmentally friendly and fuel conserving manner!
The engine is cooled by means of an air blower. The cooling fins of the cylinder are therefore
always free of dirt and sucked in plant parts.
