1. Turn the throttle control lever (8) to the full load position.
2. Following the direction of long arrow, turn the decompression lever
until the stop position. At this point automatic decompression lever
engages with an audible click, and the engine is ready to start.
3. Insert crank (24) into the bushing.
4. After having engaged the automatic decompression system to the
stop position, the engine will require five full turns of the crank until
the engine regains its compression and fires up. If for any reason
less than five turns are required for the starting procedure, turn the
decompression lever back in the direction of the short dashed
arrow. Each audible „click“ of the mechanism is equivalent to one
turn less with the crank.
5. Stand beside the engine (feet slightly apart), viewing in the forward
direction.
6. Place one hand on the machine an crank with the other hand.
Keep a firm hold of the crank while cranking in order to avoid the risk
of sudden slippage.
7. Turn crank slowly at first until crank engages and then increase
cranking speed.
8. As soon as the engine is running, remove crank (24).
9. Throttle control lever (8) in idling position; allow engine to warm up
at idling speed for 2 - 3 minutes.
