BATTERY WITHOUT MAINTENANCE
The included battery must be activated.
To activate it (fill the included acid) please follow
the instructions shown on the manual attached to
the battery.
When battery is activated,
DON’T
add any other
liquid.
To check the oil level:
1. Remove the oil-fill tap (24) and clean the dip-stick
(23).
2. Insert the dip-stick into the oil filler without
screwing it in.
3. If the oil level is low, fill with recommended oil
up to the top of the oil filler using the syringe
supplied.
MOTORS WITH OIL ALERT DEVICE
The “Oil Alert” system is designed to prevent dama-
ge to the motor due to an insufficient quantity of oil
in the cup. This system automatically shuts off the
motor before the oil level falls below the safety limit.
If the motor does not start up again after shutting
itself off, check the oil level.
AIR FILTER
Check that the dry air filter is correctly installed and
that there are no leaks around the filter which could
lead to infiltrations of non-filtered air to the inside
of the motor.
FUEL
Fill the tank with gasoline for automobiles (preferably
lead free or with low lead content in order to reduce
deposits in the combustion chamber to a minimum).
For further details on the type of gasoline to use, see
the motor operating manual supplied.
Do not fill the tank completely; leave a space of approx.
10 mm between the fuel level and the wall of the tank
to allow for expansion.
Gasoline is highly flammable. Refuel with
motor shut off in a flat surfaced well-ven-
tilated area. Do not refuel in the presence
of flames. Avoid spilling fuel.
Any eventual spilled fuel and fumes are
flammable. Clean any dispersions of fuel
before starting up the motor.
