Operation instructions
I M P O R T A N T
The first 10 hours of operation the machine shall not be operated but
only at medium engine speed.
Do not operate the engine at max. speed
right from the start, as the engine itself as well as the gearing components
need a running-in time. The engine itself reaches its max. capacity after the
first 10 hours of operation. Non-compliance with this instruction reduces your
engine lifespan substantially. To reduce the max. possible engine speed, turn
the adjustment knob
(H-5)
, so that the throttle lever
(H-4)
cannot be pushed
entirely in.
