START-UP PROCEDURE
1) Slowly push the purge bulb 6 times (6, Fig.1).
2) Pull the choke lever (12, Fig.1) in the CLOSE
position [0] (A, Fig.8). In so doing, it also
activates automatically half-throttle.
3) Lay the machine on the ground in a stable
position. Make sure the cutting tool is free.
Holding the tool with one hand (Fig.7) pull
the starter rope (no more than 3 times) until
you hear the engine start to fire. A new unit
may require additional pulls.
4) Push the choke lever (12, Fig.1) in OPEN (I)
position (B, Fig.8).
5) Pull the starter cord to start the engine. Once
the machine is started, warm up the machine
for about few seconds, without touch the
throttle lever. The machine could need more
seconds to warm up with cold weather or at
high altitudes. Finally, push the throttle lever
(15, Fig.1) for deactivate the automatic half-
throttle.
CAUTION:
- Never wrap the starter cord around your
hand.
- When pulling the starter rope, do not use
the full extent of the rope as this can cause
the rope to break.
- Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the
starter handle (11, Fig.1) and let the rope
rewind slowly.
WARNING: Once the engine is warmed up
do not use the choke to start up again.
WARNING: Use the semi-acceleration
device only in the phase of starting the engine
to cold.
BREAKING-IN THE ENGINE
The engine reaches maximum power after the first
5 to 8 hours of work.
During this period of breaking-in do not use the
engine at wide open throttle without load, to avoid
excessive functioning stress.
WARNING! - During the breaking-in
period do not vary the carburetion to obtain a
presumed power increment; the engine can be
damaged.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted
from a new engine during and after first use.

6. STOPPING THE ENGINE

Set the throttle lever to idle position (15, Fig. 1)
and wait a few seconds to let the engine cool off.
Turn off the engine, putting the ON/OFF switch
(14) in the STOP position.
