4.2. Starting
Do not run the engine in closed or
badly ventilated rooms – danger of poi-
soning! Before starting the engine, ensure that
no-one is in the danger area close to the en-
gine or equipment, and that all protective
guards are fitted.
4.2.1. Preparations for starting
If possible, disengage the engine from any
driven equipment.
The auxiliary equipment should always be placed
in neutral.

– Set speed control lever „1“; First of all put the
lever in STOP-position and then either to
1/2 START or max. START position, as desired
or necessary.
Starting at a lower speed will help to prevent
exhaust smoke.
– Now, the engine is ready for starting.
Important !
After long-time standstill (approx. 6 months or
even longer) or first operation, operate engine
with low adjusted speed and without load for
approx. 20 sec. after start. This measure assures
a lubrication of all bearings before increasing
speed and load.
It also prevents an insufficient lubrication.

Never use starting sprays !
4.2.2. Recoil start for versions without
electric starter (till -6 °C)
– For starting preparations, see Chapter 4.2.1.
