If the engine does not start
If you did not turn the choke knob to e
quickly enough after the engine began to
fire, the combustion chamber has
flooded.
: Turn the choke knob to e.
: Set slide control, interlock lever and
throttle trigger to starting throttle
position.
: Start the engine by pulling the
starter rope firmly. 10 to 20 pulls
may be necessary.
If the engine still does not start:
: Push the slide control to STOP-O.
: Pull off the spark plug boot (10).
.
: Unscrew and dry off the spark plug.
: Open the throttle wide.
: Crank the engine several times with
the starter to clear the combustion
chamber.
: Refit the spark plug and connect the
spark plug boot – push it down
firmly.
: Set the slide control to START
: Set choke knob to e – even if
engine is cold.
: Now start the engine.
Throttle cable adjustment
: Check adjustment of the throttle
cable – see "Adjusting the Throttle
Cable".
Fuel tank run until dry
: After refueling, press the fuel pump
bulb at least five times – even if
bulb is still filled with fuel.
: Set choke knob according to engine
temperature.
: Now start the engine
During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After finishing work
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
place. Check tightness of nuts and
screws (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
