HOW TO START - USE – STOP THE ENGINE
To avoid breaking the starter
rope, do not pull the whole length of it or let it
slide along the edge of the cable guide hole.
Release the starter gradually, to avoid letting it fly
back uncontrollably.
6. Pull the starter rope again until the engine
starts as normal.
Starting the engine with
the starter engaged causes the cutting
device to move, only stopping when the
starter is disconnected.
7. When the engine is started, disconnect the
starter by turning the lever (2) to «OPEN».
8. Let the engine run idle for at least 1 minute
before using the machine.
If the starter rope is pulled
repeatedly with the choke on, it may flood the
engine and make starting difficult.
If you have flooded the engine, remove the spark
plug and gently pull the handle on the starter
rope to eliminate any excess fuel; then dry the
spark plug electrodes and replace it on the
engine.
• Hot starting
When hot starting (immediately after stopping
the engine), follow the procedure indicated
above in points 1 - 4 - 5 - 6.
USE OF THE ENGINE (Fig. 11)
Cutting device speed is regulated by the throttle
trigger (2), located on the rear handgrip (4) or the
right handgrip (4a) of the handlebar.
The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is
pressed at the same time.
The movement is transmitted from the engine to
the drive shaft by a centrifugal mass clutch that
prevents the shaft from moving when the engine
is running at minimum speed.

WARNING!
IMPORTANT
Never use the machine if
the cutting device moves when the engine is
running idle; if this is the case regulate the
minimum rate (see chap.8) and if the problem
persists please contact your dealer.
The correct running speed will be achieved by
pressing the throttle trigger (2) as far as possible.
Avoid using the engine at full
power for the first 6-8 working hours.
STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 11)
To stop the engine:
– Release the throttle trigger (2) and allow the
engine to run idle for a few seconds.
– Set the switch (1) to “STOP”.
When you have reduced
speed to a minimum, it will take a few sec-
onds for the cutting device to stop
