FILLING THE OIL TANK
The engine may be seriously
damaged if it is run with
insufficient oil.
Check the oil level on a flat
horizontal surface with the
engine switched off. The
engine's service life may be
shortened if non-detergent oil
or 2-stroke engine oil is used.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
1. Place the engine in a
horizontal position on a flat
surface.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and
check the oil level: oil must be
level with the top of the oil
tank neck [1].
3. If the level is too low, top up
with the recommended oil to
the top of the oil filler neck.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil or an
equivalent engine oil with
high detergent properties, of
prime quality and certified as complying with American
automobile manufacturer standards for SG and SF
classification.
The machine must always be resting
on the ground when starting up.
Make sure that it is stable and that the
cutting attachment is not touching
other objects or the ground.
BEFORE STARTING UP
Check that the guards are
properly fitted and tightened and
that you have the necessary
protective equipment such as
goggles, gloves, boots and ear-
defenders.
Chek that the cutting attachment
and the grips or handle are
correctly tightened.Move the
machine away from the location where the fuel tank was filled.
Stand on flat, stable ground. Check that the spark plug cap is in
place.
STARTING AND
STOPPING THE
ENGINE
COLD START
The machine is considered to be "cold" if the engine has not been
running for more than 5 minutes in the 10 minutes before starting
up.
NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is warm enough (summer), the
engine may start without applying the choke.
START THE ENGINE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Place the Start/Stop button [2] in the Start position "I".
2. Place the choke lever [3] in the high position (closed).
3. Press the primer pump button [4] located below the carburettor
several times to prime the engine.
4. Gently pull the recoil starter [5] until you feel resistance.
5. Then pull vigorously until
the engine starts.
6. When the engine has
started, return the choke
lever [3] to the low
position.
• Do not pull the recoil starter cord all the way out.
• Do not release the recoil starter suddenly so that it strikes the
engine. Return it gently to avoid damaging the starter
mechanism.
NOTE:
Always pull the recoil starter vigorously. If you pull too
gently, sparks may not be produced on the spark plug and the
engine will not start. Do not place your foot or knee on the
transmission tube to hold the machine, as this could bend the tube,
rendering the machine inoperable.
