START AND OPERATING
ENGINE CASING
To inspect and maintain the engine and battery, re-
move the engine casing. Dismantling:
1. Unscrew the fuel cap/fuel gauge.
2. Pull up the rubber strap at the front edge of the
casing (fig. 10).
3. Carefully lift off the engine casing (fig. 11).
Assembly:
1. Place the casing over the lip on each side.
2. Make sure that the pins on the rear edge of the
casing go down into the respective holes (fig.
12).
3. Secure the front edge of the casing with the rub-
ber strap (fig. 10).
4. Finally, screw in the fuel cap/fuel gauge.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is mounted. Risk
of burns and crushing injuries.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
Note! Bear in mind that petrol is a perishable; do
not purchase more petrol than can be used within
thirty days.
Environmentally friendly petrol can also be used.
This type of petrol has a composition that is less
hazardous for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store petrol in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with petrol before starting
the engine. Never remove the fuel cap
or fill with petrol while the engine is
running or still warm.
Never completely fill the fuel tank. Leave an emp-
ty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 - 2
cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to ex-
pand when it warms up without overflowing
(fig. 28).
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30
oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean round the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.
Slide it down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read-off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL“ mark, if
the level comes below it (figs. 13 – 15).
CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION
OIL LEVEL (President - Royal - Pro16
- Pro20)
The transmission is filled with SAE 10W-40 oil
when the machine is delivered from the factory,
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (fig. 29). It
should be between the “MAX“ and “MIN“ marks.
If necessary, top up with more oil. Use oil SAE
10W-40 (20W-50).
