Other Hints on Starting At very low outside temperatures N Set the engine to winter operation if necessary, see "Winter Operation". N If your machine is very cold (frost or ice on machine), start the engine and keep it at a high idle speed (cutting attachment rotates) until it reaches normal operating temperature. Engine stalls in cold start position g or under acceleration N Move the choke lever to < and continue cranking until the engine runs. Engine does not start in hot start position < N Move the choke lever to g and continue cranking until the engine runs. If the engine does not start N Check that all settings are correct. N Check that there is fuel in the tank and refuel if necessary. N Check that the spark plug boot is properly connected. N Repeat the starting procedure. Fuel tank run until completely dry N Go to section on "Starting the Engine" and re-start the engine as described for a cold engine. Recommendation: Carry out the following steps irrespective of the engine's operating condition before the tank was run dry. N Set the choke lever to g. English 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 the engine to run for a short while at idle speed so that engine heat can be dissipated by the flow of cooling air. This protects enginemounted components (ignition, carburetor) from thermal overload. After Finishing Work Storing for a short period: Wait for the engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank and keep the machine in a dry place, well away from sources of ignition, until you need it again. For longer out-ofservice periods - see "Storing the Machine".
