Breaking-In The Engine - Efco DS 2400 H Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

OPERATION
3) Place the machine on the ground in a stable position. Check that
the blade is free. Holding the machine down (Fig.33), pull the
starter rope until the first kick over of the engine is heard (no more
than 3 pulls). A new unit may require additional pulls.
4) Push the choke lever (B, Fig.31) in OPEN (I) position (D, Fig.32).
5) Pull the starter cord to start the engine. Once the machine is
started, warm up the machine for about few seconds, without
touch the throttle lever. The machine could need more seconds to
warm up with cold weather or at high altitudes. Finally, push the
throttle lever (E, Fig.34) for deactivate the automatic half-throttle.

CAUTION:
- Never wrap the starter cord around your hand.
- When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full
extent of the rope as this can cause the rope to break.
- Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the starter
handle (F, Fig.34) and let the rope rewind slowly.
WARNING: Once the engine is warmed up do not use the
choke to start up again.
WARNING! - Use the semi-acceleration device only in the
phase of starting the engine to cold.

WARNING: Do not cut material with the choke/fast idle
lever at the FULL CHOKE position. Do not operate your
hedge trimmer with the starting throttle lock engaged.
Cutting with the starting throttle lock engaged does not
permit the operator proper control of the hedge trimmer
speed.
NOTE - STARTING WARM ENGINE:
Follow above starting instructions, but do not use the open
Choke position for start up again. To set fast idle for warm engine
starting, pull choke out completely and push back in to the
original Close Position.
WARNING: Weather conditions and altitude may affect
carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to the hedge
trimmer while adjusting the carburetor.
WARNING: Never attempt to start the hedge trimmer
when the blade is in a cut or kerf.

Breaking-In the Engine

The engine reaches maximum power after the first 5-8 hours of
activity. During this period of breaking-in do not use the engine at
wide open throttle without load, to avoid excessive functioning stress.
WARNING! - During the breaking-in period do not vary
the carburetion to obtain a presumed power increment;
the engine can be damaged.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine
during and after first use.
