6.3. Use of K150 B with petrol engine
WARNINGS:
▪
Do not run the engine in a closed area. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, an
odourless and deadly poison.
▪
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Stop
engine and allow the engine to cool off before refueling.
▪
When refuelling or working on the carburetter / fuel circuit, make sure the area is well
ventilated, do not smoke and stay away from any source of flame or sparks. Do not fill
the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler neck or level surface of the level gauge. If the
tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and overflow through the vents in
the tankcap. Wipe off any spilled gasoline immediately.
▪
Keep the engine at least 1 mtr. away from buildings, obstructions and other burnable
objects. To avoid getting an electric shock, do not touch the spark plug or spark plug lead
during engine running.
▪
To avoid a serious burn, do not touch a hot enginemuffler. Before you service or remove
parts stop engine and allow the engine to cool down.
▪
Always remove the spark plug lead from the spark plug when servicing the engine to
prevent accidental starting.
Starting
Adjust the switch on the engine to “START”. Pump petrol until fuel comes out of the
overflow pipe. Close the choke (if the outside temperature is high or the engine is still warm,
the choke can be opened halfway or completely). Open the gas halfway.
Careful: Do not pull the starter rope all the way and allow it to runback slowly.
If the engine runs with a closed choke, you can carefully move the choke handle to the
“OPEN” position. If the engine does not start in this way, you can repeat the procedure with
the choke in “OPEN” position.
Allow the engine to run for approx. 3 minutes before you can set the throttle handle to the
desired engine speed.
If the engine does not start, do not repeat the procedure with the choke in closed position too
often. This to prevent that too much fuel comes into the cylinder which makes starting more
difficult. Simply open the choke completely and restart the engine. Vary the number of
revolutions of the engine with the gas throttle to remove air from the carburetor. Do not allow
the engine to run on maximum number of revolutions before 3 minutes of warming-up have
passed.
