Operating Instructions

During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period.
As all moving parts have to bed in during
the break-in period, the frictional
resistances in the engine are greater
during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After finishing work
Storing for short period:
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank and keep the unit in a dry place,
away from sources of ignition, until you
need it again.
Storing for a long period:
see chapter "Storing the Machine".

Cleaning the air filter

Soiled air filters will reduce the engine
performance, increase fuel consumption
and make it more difficult to start the
machine.
If the engine performance
declines tangibly:
: Unscrew the locking nut (1) on the
filter cover
: Remove the filter cover (2)
: Remove the prefilter (3) from the
filter cover
Wet prefilters must be dried before
being knocked or blown clean.
Replace if damaged.
