Check the engine oil level or fill the engine with the specified type and amount of oil. Fill the tank with the
prescribed quantity and type of petrol.
The cold (first) engine start varies with every engine manufacturer. Engines with mechanical chokes (
Honda
and
VARI
) require, as
with older cars, to start using a hand-held choke by the accelerator lever in position
4
in
Pict. 4
. The automatic chokes in the
Briggs &
Stratton
engines are engaged per the engine temperature and do not require any operator intervention.
The engine starting type depends on the way the engine is rotated:
Manual
- Pulling a hand starter cord.
Electrical (battery)
- Pressing a start panel button.
When starting the engine, both control levers

touch the handles)!
Some engines may feature a fuel valve in their fuel supply to the carburettor! Do not forget to open the
fuel supply, please.
The following chapters describe the individual basic differences in starting. The accelerator lever positions (
1
=
STOP
,
2
=
MIN
,
3
=
MAX
, and
4
=
CHOKE
) are described in
Pict. 4
. All the four main positions described are locked by a simple, dip-protrusion system in
the lever body. The functions of the individual switch buttons (
STOP
,
1
and
START
) on the start panel are described in
