Original instructions for use
5.3 FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Always use lead-free petrol. Oil-mixed 2-stroke petrol must
not be used.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol is
perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used
within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This
type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for
people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in
containers that are made especially for this pur-
pose.
Store the petrol in a cool, well ventilated place –
not in the house. Store the petrol well out of reach
for children.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never
smoke when filling or topping up. Fill with fuel be-
fore starting the engine. Never remove the filler
cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running
or still warm.
Do not fill the petrol tank right to the top. After filling, screw
the filler cap on tightly and wipe up any spilt petrol.
5.4 STARTING THE ENGINE (WITHOUT
ELECTRICAL START)
1. Make sure the driving and auger clutch levers are
disengaged. (1:A), (1:C)
2. Put in the ignition key. Ensure it clicks tight. Do not turn
the key!
3. Turn the choke to position . Note: A warm engine does
not need the choke.
4. Press the rubber primer-start (1:E) 2 or 3 times. Make
sure the hole is covered when pressing the primer-start.
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
5. Pull on the starter cord until you feel resistance. Start the
engine with a sharp pull.
6. When the engine starts, turn the choke anti-clockwise
until it is fully open.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
5.5 STARTING THE ENGINE (WITH ELECTRICAL
START)
1. Attach the connecting cable to an earthed extension lead.
Then connect the extension lead to a 220/230 volt earthed
socket.
2. Make sure the driving and auger clutch levers are
disengaged. (1:A), (1:C)
3. Put in the ignition key. Ensure it clicks tight. Do not turn
the key!
4. Turn the choke to position . Note: A warm engine does
not need the choke.
5. Press the rubber primer-start (1:E) 2 or 3 times. Make
sure the hole is covered when pressing the primer-start.
Note: Do not use this function when the engine is warm.
6. Starting the engine:
a. Press the start button to activate the starting motor.
b. When the engine starts, release the start button and
open the choke by slowly turning the choke lever anti-
clockwise to position
.
c. If the engine stutters, close the choke immediately and
gradually open it again.
d. First pull out the extension lead from the socket. Then
remove the extension lead from the engine.
Note: The electrical starting motor has overload
protection. The motor stops automatically when
overheated. It will not restart until it has cooled, which
takes about 5 - 10 minutes.
7. When the engine starts, turn the choke anti-clockwise
until it is fully open.
Never run the machine indoors. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a very toxic gas.
