Please note:
The rotary handle may only be
adjusted when the engine is switched off.
5.2 Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of normal unleaded petrol and
special 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as
indicated on the fuel mixing table.
Please note:
Do not use a fuel mixture which has
been kept for longer than 90 days.
Please note:
Do not use 2-stroke oil with a
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If
inadequate lubrication causes engine damage,
the manufacturer’s engine warranty will be
voided.
Please note:
Only use containers designed and
approved for the purpose to transport and store
fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke
oil into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the
bottle). Then shake the bottle well.

Please note that the statutory regulations
governing noise abatement may differ from town
to town.
6.1 Starting the engine from cold (Fig. 3-5)
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol mix.
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 4/Item 5) to “ ”.
3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 4/Item 9)
10 times.
4. Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 3/Item 6) to “I”
5. Secure the throttle lever. To do this, press the
throttle lever lock (Fig. 3/Item 13) and then press
the throttle lever (Fig. 3/Item 14) and lock the
throttle lever by pressing the locking knob
(Fig. 3/Item 7) at the same time.
6. Hold the machine by the front handle in your
left hand and using your right hand, pull the starter
cable (Fig. 5/Item A) up to the first resistance point
(approx. 10 cm). Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 4 times. The machine should start.
Please note: Never allow the starter cable to snap
back. This may damage the machine.
7. If the engine has started, set the choke lever
immediately to “ ” and allow the machine to
warm up for approx. 10 seconds. Then release
the throttle lever by simply actuating it (the engine
then returns to running in idle mode).
8. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 6-7
above.
Please note:
If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section “Engine
Troubleshooting”.
Please note:
Always pull the starter cable out in a
straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then
friction will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this
friction, the cable will become frayed and will
wear away faster.
6.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the
machine has not been switched off for more
than 15 – 20 minutes
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level
surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to “I”.
3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as
described in “Starting the engine when cold”).
4. Hold the machine by the front handle in your
left hand and using your right hand, pull the starter
cable up to the first resistance point (approx. 10
cm). Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The
machine should start after 1-2 tugs. If the
machine does not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps
1 – 7 of the procedure for starting the engine from
cold.
6.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the machine
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to “Stop”
or “0”
