Operation Manual

USE OF THE ENGINE (Fig. 8)
Cutting device speed is regulated by the throttle
trigger (2), located on the rear handgrip (4) or the
right handgrip (4a) of the handlebar.
The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is
pressed at the same time.
The movement is transmitted from the engine to
the drive shaft by a centrifugal mass clutch that
prevents the shaft from moving when the engine
is running at minimum speed.
WARNING!
Do not use the machine if
the cutting device moves when the engine is
running idle; in this case, contact you dealer.
The correct running speed will be achieved by
pressing the throttle trigger (2) as far as possible.
IMPORTANT
Avoid using the engine at full
power for the rst 68 working hours.
STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 8)
To stop the engine:
– Release the throttle trigger (2) and allow the
engine to run idle for a few seconds.
– Set the switch (1) to «STOP».
WARNING!
When you have reduced
speed to a minimum, it will take a few seconds
for the cutting device to stop
3. Press the primer device button (6) 3 or 4 ti mes
to prime the carburettor.
4. Hold the machine rmly on the ground with one
hand on the power unit, in order not to lose
control of the machine during startup (Fig. 9).
IMPORTANT
To prevent distortions, the
drive tube must not be used as a support for the
hand or knee during startup.
5. Pull the starter rope slowly for 10 - 15 cm until
you feel some resistance, then tug it hard a few
times until you hear the engine turn over.
IMPORTANT
To avoid breaking the sta r ter
rope, do not pull the whole length of it or let it slide
along the edge of the cable guide hole. Release
the starter gradually, to avoid letting it y back un-
controllably.
6. Pull the starter rope again until the engine starts
as normal.
WARNING!
Starting the engine with
the choke engaged causes the cutting device
to move, only stopping when the choke is di-
sconnected.
7. When the engine is started, disconnect the
starter by turning the lever (2) to «RUN».
8. Briey activate the throttle (2) to bring the
engine down to minimum, with the switch (1)
which will move automatically to the «RUN»
position.
9. Let the engine run idle for at least 1 minute
before using the machine.
IMPORTANT
If the starter rope is pulled
repeatedly with the choke on, it may ood the en-
gine and make starting dicult.
If you have ooded the engine, remove the spark
plug and gently pull the handle on the starter rope
to eliminate any excess fuel; then dry the spark
plug electrodes and replace it on the en gine.
