Operating Instructions - SPARKY TV 3540 Notice Originale

RECOMMENDED FUELS
Some conventional petrol brands are being blend-
ed with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether com-
pound to meet clean air standards. Your SPARKY
engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on any
gasoline intended for automotive use including
oxygenated petrol.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR LUBRICATION
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel
tank is refilled. We recommend using SPARKY
Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil, which contains ad-
ditives to reduce friction and wear and to assist in
the prevention of pitch formation on the bar and
chain.

PRE-START ENGINE CHECKS
WARNING: Never start or operate the
saw unless the bar and chain are properly in-
stalled.
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with the correct fuel mix-
ture (Fig. 8).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with the correct chain and
bar oil (Fig. 8).
3. Ensure the chain brake (C) is disengaged be-
fore starting the unit (Fig. 8).
TO START ENGINE
1. To start the motor, push the ON/OFF switch
upwards to the ON (I) position (Fig. 9A).
2. Pull out the choke (A) to the point where it
latches in place (Fig. 9B).
3. Push the primer bulb (B) 10 times (Fig. 9C).
4. Latch throttle advance: depress latch and
hold (C), squeeze throttle trigger (D), release
trigger and then the latch (Fig. 9D).
5. Place the saw on a firm and level surface.
Hold the saw securely with your foot as il-
lustrated. Tug sharply on the starter 4 times.
Watch the chain in case it runs (Fig. 9E).
NOTE: If the engine sounds as if it wants to start
before the 4th tug, end the tugging of the start-
er and proceed as described in the next step.
(TV 3540 only)

duces the effort required to start the engine. You
Original instructions
must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear
the engine attempt to start. There is no need to
pull the rope briskly - there is no harsh resistance
when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is
vastly different from (and much easier than) what
you may be used to.
6. Push in the choke (E) as far it will go
(Fig. 9F).
7. Hold the saw securely and tug sharply on the
starter 4 times. The engine should start.
8. Let the engine run for 10 seconds to warm
up. Press the trigger (H) and put it into IDLE
(Fig. 9G).
9. If the engine does not start up, repeat the
above steps.
RE-STARTING A WARM ENGINE
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the "I" po-
sition.
2. Depress the primer bulb 10 times.
3. Set the throttle latch. Latch throttle advance:
depress latch and hold squeeze throttle trig-
ger, release the trigger and then the latch.
4. Pull the starter rope rapidly 4 times. The en-
gine should start.
5. Release the throttle latch. The throttle latch
will be released while you press the trigger.
6. If the engine still can not start, follow the step
in section "To start engine".
TO STOP ENGINE
1. Release the trigger and allow engine to return
to idle speed.
2. Press STOP switch down to stop engine.
(Fig. 9H)
NOTE: For emergency stopping, simply acti-
vate the chain brake and move the STOP switch
down.
CHAIN BRAKE OPERATIONAL TEST
Test the chain brake periodically to ensure proper
function.
Perform a chain brake test prior to initial cutting,
following extensive cutting, and definitely follow-
ing any chain brake service.
To test chain brake:
1. Place the saw on a clean, firm, flat surface.
2. Start the engine.
3. Grasp the rear handle (A) with your right hand
(Fig. 10).
4. With your left hand, hold the front handle
(B), and not the chain brake lever (C), firmly
(Fig. 10).
