PRELIMINARY CHECKOUT

OPERATION

• 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 (Fig. 18), 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

Unhook lock "A", figure 4, remove the filter element and pour engine oil up to the level
(figure 5). 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.

• Fuel check

Loosen cap "A", (figure 6) 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.
The engine must not be used in a closed environment unless the room is
adequately ventilated. Combustion engines produce harmful gases which, in
closed and/or insufficiently aired environments, can reach concentrations that
may prove dangerous and/or lethal to people and animals. Protections for
pulleys, belts and propeller shafts do not always ensure the operator's full
safety; in particular, loose clothes may be trapped in the transmission parts
causing serious harm to people! Do not tamper with the engine in order to
improve its performance, the only consequence would be that of increasing
risks.

• Electric start

Before starting the engine make sure that all connections with the machine
(gearbox, clutch, etc.) are disconnected.
Bring the accelerator lever to half stroke ("A", figure 8). Turn the ignition key (figure 11)
to position "B", then start the engine turning it to position "C". Once the engine has
been started, turn the ignition key back to position "B" (battery recharge) and bring the
accelerator lever to the minimum position.
