Refuelling

FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.

The engine must be switched off!

-Carefully clean the area around the fuel-tank filler neck to keep dirt from getting in the tank.

-Place the unit on its side on an even surface.

-Unscrewthetankcapandfill tankwith fuel mixture.Takecare to avoid spilling.

-Tightly screw on the plug.

Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling.

StartingtheengineCold - starting

To make it easier to start, the DPC 7001 and DPC 9501 are equipped with a semi-automatic starting valve (E/6). Pushing this valve in reduces the amount of compression effort needed, so that it is easier to bring the engine up to starting speed when pulling the starter cable? The high pressure increase in the combustion chamber that results from the first ignitions will automatically close the starting valve (button pops back out).

Models DPC 7000and DPC 9500do not haveastarting valve. Starting and carburetor adjustment are as for models DPC 7001 and DPC9501 except without the instruction "Push the starting valve".

-Swing the protection hood (D/I) all the way back and tighten the knob (7000,7001) ortightening toggle (9500, 9501) firmly.

Put the short-circuit ignition switch in the "I"position (E/I).

-Pull out the choke (E/2).

-Grasp handle (hand pressure actuates the grip throttle lever lock (E/5)).

-Depress the half-throttle lock button (E/3) and hold.

-Pressthe throttle (E/4) all the way and release(throttlewill be

held at half-throttle by the lock button (E/3)).

NOTE: If the Power Cut is installedinthe trolley, the control lever should be in the second arrest position.

-Push the starting valve (E/6) (only DPC 7001 and DPC

9501).

&- Grasp the tubular handle firmly with one hand and press the Power Cut against the ground (Fig. D).

- Put the toe of your right foot in the rear handle (Fig. D).

- Slowly pull out the starter cable until you notice resistance

(the piston is positioned before the top dead centre).

- Now pull the starter cable with a fast and forceful movement until you hear the first ignition.

CAUTION: Do not pull out the starter cable more than approx. 19.5" (50 cm), and lead it back by hand.

-Push the choke (E/2) back in.

-Push the starting valve (E/6) (only DPC 7001 and DPC 9501).

-Keep pulling the starter cable until the engine catches.

-As soon as the engine is running, press the throttle (E/4) to releasethe half-throttlelock (E/3),allowingthe engineto idle.

Warm - starting

-As described above for cold starting, but without using the choke (E/2). Keep the choke in.

If t h e engine won't start

If the engine refuses to start even after a number of tries, check the spark plug (see the section on "Replacing the spark plug").

Stoppingtheengine

-Put the short-circuiting switch (E/I) in position "0"(STOP).
