1) How to start and stop the engine
(Please refer to the engine use manual)
■
Before starting the engine
Place the machine on a flat, level surface and perform the following procedures to check the engine's
oil and fuel levels.
Prep. 1 :Check engine oil
●
This machine is shipped without oil inside. Be sure to put oil in before starting the engine, even if
there are traces of residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing.
・
Engine oil: SAE10W-30
、
1.16qt.(1.1 Liter)
●
Make sure the engine has cooled before inspecting. Danger of burns exists.
1.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level.
Note:
When measuring with the dipstick, do not screw it in
place. (GXV340)
2.
If the oil does not lie between the upper level and lower level,
replenish to bring the oil to the upper level.
Note:
Take care not to overfill with oil.
Prep. 2 :Check fuel
●
Under no circumstances should you smoke, operate firearms, or use any open flame while using
gasoline, as gasoline is extremely flammable.
Also, please be careful of static electricity as gasoline is highly volatile and exposure to
electricity may cause fire or an explosion.
●
Please refuel in a place that can be well ventilated. As gasoline is a highly volatile substance,
there is a danger that you will feel unwell if you operate the machine in a poorly ventilated place.
●
When refueling, be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool down. There is a danger of
suffering burns.
●
When refueling, be sure not to fill the fuel tank over the maximum level. If you do overfill the fuel
tank, remove fuel until it sits below the maximum level. Over-fueling can cause fire and other
accidents.
●
After refueling, securely close the fuel cap and store the machine in a safe place with no sources
of flame. There is a danger of fire.
●
If gasoline is spilled, move the machine a safe distance away without starting the engine. Starting
the machine in close proximity to spilled fuel could result in fire or other accident. Use a cloth to
wipe away waste gasoline and dispose of any such cloth in a suitable manner.
