HOW TO START - USE – STOP THE ENGINE / USING THE MACHINE 11
USE OF THE ENGINE (Fig. 10)
Always disengage the chain
brake, pulling the lever towards you before using
the accelerator.
The chain speed is regulated by the throttle trigger
(1) on the rear handgrip (2).
The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is
pressed at the same time.
The movement is transmitted from the engine to the
chain by a centrifugal mass clutch that prevents the
chain from moving when the engine is running at
minimum speed.
Do not use the machine if
the chain moves when the engine is running
idle; in this case, contact your dealer.
The correct running speed will be achieved by
pressing the throttle trigger (1) as far as possible.
IMPORTANT
WARNING!
Avoid using the engine at full
power for the first 6-8 working hours.
STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 10)
To stop the engine:
– Release the throttle trigger (1) and allow the en-
gine to run idle for a few seconds.
– Set the switch (4) to “STOP”.
When you have reduced
speed to a minimum, it may take a few sec-
onds for the chain to stop.
If the machine does not turn
off, pull the starter to flood and stop the engine and
immediately contact the dealer to find the cause of
the problem and request necessary repairs.
