PRELIMINARY CHECKOUT

• Checking the oil level in the engine

Before starting the engine, check the oil level (figure 3). If the level is below the
minimum, Remove the oil filling cap, pour the oil (figure 19-20), check the level again
and refit the cap.
Make sure that it is at max with engine on level surface. The engine may be damaged
if operated with insufficient lube oil.
Caution! Never exceed the MAX level. It is dangerous to supply too much lube
oil to the engine because a sudden increase in engine rpm could be caused by
its combustion.

• Checking the oil bath air filter

Unscrew screw "A", figure 4, remove the filter element and pour engine oil up to the
level. Reassemble the filter.
Make sure that the filter is mounted in the correct way otherwise dust and other
impurities could ilfiltrate into the intake ducts.
Do not exceed the level shown in the filter when adding oil. The extra oil might
be sucked by the engine thus causing a sudden increase in the rotation
speed.

• Checking dry air filter

The dry air filter is generally used on machines which work in environments with normal
but very fine dust levels. It is advisable to check how clogged the filtering element is
every day (figure 5)
Make sure that the filter is mounted in the correct way otherwise dust and other
impurities could ilfiltrate into the intake ducts. .

• Fuel check

Loosen cap "A", (figure 8) and sight-check the level of fuel.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely, but just up to 1 cm (0.39 in) from the top of the
tank, to provide space for fuel movement. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine before
starting.

• Other checks

Before starting the engine we suggest you to read with care the instructions
which are not included in this booklet, but which your Retailer should have
supplied you together with the machine you have bought. These contain
precise instructions about the machine and, in particular, on safety devices or
precautions.
