1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE MANUAL
Some paragraphs in the manual containing information of particular importance for safety and operation
are highlighted at various levels of emphasis, and signify the following:
NOTE or IMPORTANT - These give details or further information on what has already been said, and
aim to prevent damage either to the engine or other damages.
ATTENTION - Non-observance will result in the risk of injury to oneself or others.
DANGER - Non-observance will result in the risk of serious injury or death to oneself or others.
All indications, "front", "rear", "right" and "left", are to be taken as referring to the engine
positioned with the spark plug facing forwards with respect to the observer.
1.1 SAFETY SYMBOLS
The number before the paragraph title refers to the text references and their related figures (shown
inside front and back covers). Your engine should be used with due care and attention. Symbols have
therefore been placed on the engine to remind you of the main precautions to be taken. Their full
meaning is explained later on.
You are also asked to carefully read the safety regulations in the applicable chapter of this handbook.

Warning! - Keep away from hot surfaces.
Warning! - Petrol is flammable. Allow engine to cool at least 2 minutes before
