Oil filling:
Place the motor in a horizontal position. Remove the oil plug
and fill with oil right to the edge.
Oil type:
X
Please note: 10W-40 oil can be used
if 10W-30 is not available.
XX If this oil is not available, a synthetic oil with a viscosity
of 5W-20, 5W-30 or 5W-40 can be used.
Only use high-quality oil, e.g. SC, SD, SE, SF and SG.
The oil type used depends on the ambient temperature
when the machine works.
Summer:
(Temperature above 10
0
C)
SAE 30 or SAE 10W-40
Winter:
(Temperature below 10
0
C)
SAE 20 or SAE 10W-30
Fuel
Use lowest available octane unleaded fuel. When filling, place the machine in a horizontal position.
Always replace old fuel. Always stop the motor when fuelling. Never fill up with fuel on a hot motor.
Never use gasoline mixed with oil.
Operation start and stop
Cold motor:
Activate the motor choke.
Set the throttle control on full speed
First, pull the starting rope a couple of times, shortly, until it feels tight. Pull the starting rope slowly to the
point where it feels tight, place your left hand on the motor in order to hold back, and pull the starting rope
hard once. When the motor runs, deactivate the choke.
PLEASE NOTE:
Never let the starting rope wind again by itself. Follow it all the way back with your hand.
If the motor will not run in spite of several attempts this may be caused by the fact that there is too much
fuel in the cylinder/carburettor, and that the sparking plug has become moist. Dismount the plug and wipe
it off.
Stop the motor:
Set the throttle control in position "STOP". Set the throttle lever to idle and let the motor run idle for 10-20
seconds before the lever is moved to stop. Never leave the sweeper without stopping the motor.
Do not turn off the motor by switching on the choke, as this may result in damage to the motor.
