STARTING AND OPERATING

ENGINE CASING

The engine casing must be removed to inspect and
maintain the engine and battery. Removing:
1. Lift up the two catches on the rear edge (fig. 4).
2. First pull the engine casing backwards slightly.
Then lift it off.
Fitting:
1. Tilt the seat forward.
2. Align the casing's top front pegs to the recesses
in the front of the engine casing (fig. 5). Do not
push the pegs in yet (see item 4 below).
3. Place the casing's bottom pegs in the groove in
the shock absorber.
4. Guide in the two side pegs in the groove in the
front engine casing. Now press forward the
complete casing.
5. Finally, push down the two catches.
The machine must not used without the
engine casing fitted. Risk for burn inju-
ries and pinch injuries.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

Always use clean unleaded petrol. Never use oil-
mixed 2-stroke petrol (fig. 6).
NOTE! Bear in mind that standard unleaded petrol
is perishable. Never purchase more than what you
can use within 30 days.
Environmentally-friendly petrol is a good choice
of petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that
is less hazardous for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Store pet-
rol in specially made containers for this
purpose.

ENGLISH
Only fill up with petrol outdoors, and
never smoke when filling. Fill up with
petrol before starting the engine. Never

rol when the engine is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the fuel tank. Leave an emp-
ty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 - 2
cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to ex-
pand when it warms up without overflowing.
