ENGINE
5.3.1
Preliminary instructions
The first service on the engine should be carried out after 50
running hours. This period also applies after a major overhaul.
During the first 50 hours, the engine should receive special
attention:
x
Long periods of light or no load running in the first 50
hours may lead to cylinder glazing and high oil
consumption.
x
For the same reason it is of the greatest importance to use
the right oil specification.
5.3.2
Bleeding the fuel lines
When the engine is started up for the first time or after it has
run out of fuel, the fuel system may need to be primed. Push
the start button activating the electric system and activating the
fuel pump. When more time is needed to bleed, hold the

remote panel). While the button is held, the pump will work,
but the unit will not start. Hold as long as necessary to bleed
the system

measures have to be taken to prevent oil from being spilled.
