Page 6: Safety Precautions
SAFETY PERCAUTIONS △ ! WARNING ● Before operating the engine, be sure to read and familiar with the manual carefully, otherwise injury to personnel or damage to equipment may occur. Please pay special attention to the following: 1. Running the engine in a well-ventilated place, keep it at least one meter away from building walls or other equipments, keep away from inflammables such as gasoline, matches and so on to avoid possibility of fire. - Page 7 9. This machine should not be used underground or in areas where explosive conditions may be pre- sent. 10. It’s recommended that the operator wears the protection equipment during operation.

PARTS DESCRIPTION The main part of engine are located as follow (Fig.1) -
Page 9: Battery Connection
BATTERY CONNECTION (electric-start type) In the case that the specifications of the battery are 12V and more than 18A.h, connect its posi- tive lead to the electromagnetic coil while connect its negative lead to engine mount strew, base screw any place capable of grounding with the engine well. Make sure the battery leads are connected tightly and no corrosion is found. - Page 10 ● Do not add distilled water over electrolyte upper lev- el mark, or electrolyte will spill out to corrupt the engine parts. If so, be sure to wash them away with water. ● Make sure not to connect the battery leads in reverse order, or short-circuit or breaker’s cutting may re- sult.

CONTROL CONNECTION OF REMOTE DISTANCE (OPTION) The holes in levers of both the choke and throttle valve are used for mounting optioned steel wires. Fig.2, 3 ＆ 4 shown illustrate how to mount a solid steel wire and a meshed steel wire. If choosing a meshed steel wire, a return spring is added. -
Page 12: Pre-Operating Inspection
PRE-OPERATE INSPECTION Ⅰ.ENGINE OIL CAUTION ● Engine oil is a key factor in deciding the engine’s performance. Do not apply engine oil with additives or 2-stroke gasoline oil, as they haven’t enough lubrication, which may shorten the engine’s service life. ●... -

Page 16: Ⅳ.fuel And Fuel Tank
CAUTION ● Never run the engine without an air cleaner, or sever wear of the engine may occur. Ⅳ. FUEL AND FUEL TANK 1. Fuel The engine must apply unleaded gasoline with an octane number over 86. Using unleaded gaso- line will decrease the possibility of producing carbon deposit and prolong the engine’s service life. - Page 17 3. Fuel Tank Fuel tank capacity: 2.5liters for 160F, and3.6liters for 168F ＆ 168F – 2. 4. Check a) Remove the fuel filler cap and check fuel level. b) If the fuel level is too low, refuel the tank. Remember adding fuel not over the fuel filter...

Page 19: Starting Of The Engine
STARTING OF THE ENGINE 1. Push the fuel cock to “ON”. (Fig. 13) 2. Push the choke lever to “CLOSE”. (Fig. 14) NOTE If the engine is hot, closing the choke is unnecessary. - Page 20 3. Move left the throttle lever a little (Fig. 15) 4. Start the engine (Fig. 16). a) Push the engine switch to “ON”. b) Pull slightly the starting rope handle up until feeling anti-action, and then make a rapid pull. Fig.
- Page 21 CAUTION Releasing the handle suddenly may make it hitting the engine. Release the handle slowly conforming with its recoiling force. c) Electric starter Push the engine switch to “START” and remain there the engine starts. Once engine starts, reset the engine switch to “ON”. CAUTION Use the engine switch not more than 5 minutes each time to avoid dam- age of the engine.

Page 22: Operation
OPERATION 1. Preheat the engine and push back the choke lever to “OPEN”(Fig. 17). 2. Set the throttle lever in proper position to ensure the engine runs at required velocity. (Fig.18) - Page 23 Engine Oil Alarm The engine oil alarm is designed to alarm the user the fact that the engine oil in the crankcase in insufficient. Run with insufficient engine oil may damage the engine. Once oil level in the crankcase is too low, the engine oil alarm will stall the engine automatically to make it free of damage while the engine switch is still at “ON”.

Page 24: Stop
STOP In an emergency, push the engine switch to “OFF” to stall the engine. Stop it in normal in the fol- lowing sequence: 1. Push right the throttle valve lever to the bottom (Fig. 19). 2. Push the engine switch to “OFF” (Fig. 20). 3. -
Page 25: Exhaust Control System
EXHAUST CONTROL SYSTEM With the engine running, carbon monoxide, oxide of nitrogen and hydrocarbon will produce, and in certain conditions, oxide of nitrogen and hydrocarbon will react chemically each other to make smoke while carbon monoxide is toxic, so exhaust control of them is very important. The company decreases the exhaust emissions by introducing poor-fuel carburetors and other devices into the engine to solve the problem. -
Page 26: Ⅲ.modifying
Ⅲ. MODIFYING Modifying the exhaust control system may make actual exhaust emissions exceeding statutory limit values. Illegal modification is as follows: 1. Dismantle or modify any part of air inlet or outlet system. 2. Modify or take off speed-adjusting connection device or speed adjustment device to result in the engine’s running or outside the set parameters. -

- Page 35 △ ! WARNING Be careful not to touch the muffler during or just after the engine. b) Clean the spark plug with a steel brush. If the insu- lator is damaged, replace the spark plug instead. c) Measure the spark plug clearance with a feeler. The clearance should be 0.7～0.8mm (Fig.
- Page 36 5. Spark Eliminator (Option) The spark eliminator should be serviced at least once every 100 hour’s operation so as to keep it in a sound condition. △ ! WARNING The muffler is very hot during running the engine and even a long time after stopping. Never touch it, or you may get burns.
- Page 37 CAUTION Be careful not to damage the mesh of the spark eliminator. Never use a damaged spark eliminator. 6. Adjustment of Carburetor Idling a) Start and preheat the engine until arriving at its normal working temperature (Fig.31). b) Obtain standard idling by adjusting the throttle fixing screw under the engine runs at a low speed.

Page 38: Transport, Storage And Removal From Storage
TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND REMOVAL FROM STORAGE Ⅰ. TRANSPORT Transport with the fuel switch turned off. Transport or store the engine it is cool so as to avoid getting burns or fire. CARTION Do not incline the engine so as to avoid spilling fuel. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite to cause fire. - Page 39 2. Disconnect the spark plug. Fill a spoon of fresh engine oil from the spark plug mount hole into the cylinder. Rotate the engine to distribute engine oil evenly, followed by fitting the spark plug to original position. 3. Pull the starting rope slowly until feel a slight anti-action, and then keep pulling so as to align the arrow of the starting sleeve with the hole of the starter.
