If the engine does not start
If you did not turn the choke knob to
e
quickly enough after the engine began to
fire, the combustion chamber has
flooded.

Turn the choke knob to
e
.

starter rope firmly. 10 to 20 pulls
may be necessary.

bulb is still filled with fuel.
:
Set choke knob according to engine
temperature.

Now start the engine
During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After finishing work
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
place. Check tightness of nuts and
screws (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
