ENENGLISH
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or top- ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1
-2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms up without overflowing. See fig. 6.
4.2 Checking the engine oil level
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
30oil. See fig. 9.
Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un- screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.
Slide the dipstick down completely and tighten it. Pull up the dipstick again. Read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if the level comes below this mark (7).
The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. This results in the engine overheating. If the oil level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be drained until the correct level is achieved.
4.3Safety checks
Check that the results of the safety checks below are achieved when testing the machine in question.
The safety checks must always be car- ried out every time before use.
If any of the results below is not achieved, the machine must not be used! Take the machine to a service workshop for repair.

2.Check that the spark plug cable(s) is/are in- stalled on the spark plug(s).
3.Check to make sure that the power
4.Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
5.Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in the choke position.
Starting warm engine – put the throttle control at full throttle (approx. 2 cm behind the choke position).
6.Depress the
7.Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8Once the engine has started, move the throttle control gradually to full throttle (approx. 2 cm behind the choke position) if the choke has been used.
9.When starting from cold, do not make the ma- chine work under load immediately, but let the engine run for a few minutes first. This will al- low the oil to warm up.
When the machine is in operation, full throttle should always be used.
4.5Operating tips
Always check that there is the correct volume of oil in the engine. This is particularly important when operating on slopes. See 4.2.
