Do not turn the key to position "C" (start) if the engine is running. In engines without
solenoid valve stop, if the ignition key is turned to the "A" position (figure 11) when
running, the voltage regulator components could be damaged. If the fuel circuit is
empty or if the temperature is too low, several attempts may be necessary before the
engine starts. In such cases, wait 15 seconds before trying any further attempt
otherwise the starter could be overheated.

• Manual start

Bring the accelerator lever to half stroke ("A", figure 8). Turn the pulley anticlockwise
up to the compression (figure 9), wind the rope around the pulley and pull hard
(figure 10).
Caution! Follow the above instructions. Manual start may prove dangerous if
carried out by unskilled personnel!
Use the rope supplied with the engine. Replace it immediately if it shows signs
of wear or deterioration. Do not wind the rope around your hand and remember
that while pulling it must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the pulley.
It is extremely important to check that there are no dangerous obstructions
near the machine before starting the engine. This will avoid accidents and will
allow easy movement, thus allowing the engine to operate at its best!

• Engine heating

We advise you against carrying out loadless heating procedures, particularly if heating
takes a long time, as they may cause bad combustion and, consequently, high levels of
smoke and oil spillage into the exhaust, and therefore gas pollution.

• Run-in

Follow the rules below during the run-in period (approximately 50 hours):
- pre-heat the engine for several minutes before loading;
- use the engine only partially laden;
- do not overload the engine for long periods;
- do not insist in using the machine if black smoke is exhausted;
- before stopping the engine idle for some minutes to cool it down.
We suggest replacing the engine oil and the oil cartridge at the end of the run-in period
(50 hours).

• Engine stop

Bring the accelerator lever to the minimum ("A", figure 8), wait for a few seconds,
push the engine stop lever to the STOP position ("B", figure 12) and keep it pressed
until the engine stops completely. If the engine is fitted with a solenoid valve stop, turn
the ignition key to position "A" (figure 11).
Do not stop the engine when operating at full load or high speed.
Before stopping it. Let it run for a short time at low idle.
