STARTING AND OPERATION

ENGINE CASING
To inspect and maintain the engine and battery, re-
move the engine casing. The engine must not be
running when the casing is removed.
Dismantling:
1. Fold up both casing locks at the rear edge
(fig. 4).
2. Pull the engine casing back a little first. Then lift
it off.
Assembly:
1. Fold the seat forward.
2. Align the casing's upper, front pins with the
slots in the front engine casing (fig. 5). Leave ap-
prox. 2 cm clearance.
3. Guide both conical side pins into the holes in the
front engine casing. Then press the entire casing
forwards.
5. Finally fold down both casing locks (fig. 4.)
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is mounted. Risk
of burns and crushing injuries.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil (fig. 6).
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
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 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
ENGLISH
expand when it warms up without overflowing.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Slide it down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the

the level comes below it (fig. 7).
