1. Let the engine run at idle speed for a few minutes, to
allow it to cool down;
2. Put the ON/OFF switch to "STOP" position.
Avoid suddenly stopping the engine when it is running at
high speed, as it may damage the equipment.
Stop the engine immediately only in the event of
imminent or emergency danger by setting the
"ON/OFF" switch to "0" position.
After starting, the engine is running at an intermediate
speed between idle and maximum speed.
When using the machine continuously, with the throttle
trigger lockout pressed, the engine runs at a constant
intermediate speed.
The engine speed is set by means of the throttle lever.
1. If the throttle lever is not pressed, the engine runs at idle
speed;
2. With the throttle lever fully pressed, the engine reaches
its maximum speed.
Adapt the engine speed to the type of work you are going to
do. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the greater the
noise and fuel consumption.
The engine must run on a mixture of unleaded petrol and
2-stroke engine oil in the ratio of 1: 30 (1 liter of oil for 2
stroke engines for each 30L of petrol).
1. Place the 2-stroke engine oil in a fuel-approved tank;
2. Add petrol to 2-stroke engine oil;
3. Place the tank cap and shake it thoroughly to mix the oil
with petrol.
Unsuitable fuels or with a different ratio than recommended
may lead to irreversible damage to the engine. Petrol or oil
of low quality can damage the engine, gaskets, hoses and
the fuel tank.
Keep the fuel mixture in proper and adequate tanks
in a safe, dry, cool place protected from sunlight.
Fuel mixture ages, mix only the amount needed for a few
weeks. Do not store or use fuel with more than 30 days.
Shake the mixture fuel container before refueling the fuel
tank.
Pressure may form inside the tank, for this reason it
shall be opened carefully. Avoid direct skin contact
and inhalation of flammable vapours.
When refilling the fuel tank, do not add petrol above the
maximum level of the filler cap.
Before any maintenance or cleaning work, place the
equipment on a levelled surface, switch off the engine
and pull out the spark plug cap.
Never touch the exhaust, spark plug, or other metal
parts of the engine while the engine is running or
immediately after turning off the engine. This can lead to
severe burns or electric shock.
Dirty air filters reduce engine power, increase fuel
consumption and make starts more difficult.
1. Remove the cover (M) and the filter (N);
2. Blow the filter with compressed air until it is completely
clean.
The use of a dirty filter will limit the air flow in the carburetor
affecting the performance of the appliance.
1. Empty the fuel tank;
2. Remove the fuel line hose from inside the tank and
remove the filter;
3. Blow the filter with compressed air until it is completely
clean. If it does not allow effective cleaning or is
damaged, replace it.
Clean the cylinder fins with compressed air or a brush
periodically. Dangerous overheating of engine may occur
due to impurities on the cylinder.
