NOTE:
Do not overfill. This can cause the engine to
smoke, be difficult to start or cause soot on
the spark plug.

tighten before starting the engine.
FIG. 6
STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE:
• Check that the auger lever and the drive
lever are in the neutral position
(upwards) before starting the engine.
• Check the oil level before starting.
MANUAL START
1. Open the fuel valve.
2. Put the ignition knob in ignition mode.
3. Set the throttle lever in the high revs
position.
4. Close the choke if the engine is cold.
5. If the engine is cold, block the ventilation
hole on the primer bulb and press
3–5 times. If the engine is warm, block
the ventilation hole and press the primer
bulb once.
6. To start the engine, pull the starter cord
slowly until it catches and then pull
quickly. Keep hold of the starter handle
when the cord pulls in after starting. If
the cord is pulled in too quickly the starter
handle could cause personal injury and/or
material damage. Repeat, if necessary.
7. Slowly move the choke lever to the closed
position when the engine warms up. If
the engine stops, start it again and let it
run for a while with the choke half-open
before slowly moving the choke lever to
the closed position (no choke).
indoors or with the engine running. Store
and handle petrol away from sparks, naked
flames, heat and other ignition sources.
Smoking prohibited! Keep your hands
and feet away from moving parts. Do not
use starter fluid. The vapours are highly
flammable.
NOTE:
There may be a plastic cover in the fuel filler
tube to protect the tank during manufacture.
Remove and discard this cover. Replace the
fuel cap after refuelling.
Clean the area around the fuel cap before
opening. Fill up to the red plate in the screen.
Do not overfill.
FIG. 5
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
IMPORTANT:
The engine is supplied without oil. Fill up
with oil and check the oil level before starting
the engine. Do not run the engine without
enough oil – risk of serious engine damage.
The warranty does not cover damage
resulting from the engine being run with too
little oil.
NOTE:
Check the engine’s oil level on a flat surface
with the engine turned off.
1. Remove the oil filler cap with the dipstick
and wipe the dipstick.
2. Refit the filler cap with the dipstick
without tightening.
3. Remove the oil filler cap with the dipstick
again. Top up the oil if the level is too low.
The correct viscosity and oil volume are set
out in the engine maintenance section.
