COMMISSIONING DANGER If you attempt to start the engine again, wait until it stops. The vibration starts when the engine starts up. A NOTICE Do not operate the decompression lever while the engine is running. 6. Bring the engine to maximum speed. 7.
Page 19
OPERATION 6.6 Switching off the engine (Fig. 8) When operations are interrupted or after work has finished, protect the starter key from unauthorized access. A NOTICE Never stop the engine using the decompression lever, as this will inevitably cause damage to the decompression device.
Page 20
OPERATION MAINTENANCE The work area must first be cleared of obstacles and tripping hazards must be eliminated. Extreme caution is required on uneven terrain, in narrow pits and when compacting coarse material to avoid becoming trapped and losing control of the machine. Make sure you have a secure footing! Use the machine in such a way that hand injuries caused by solid objects are avoided.
Page 21
MAINTENANCE 8. MAINTENANCE Only carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off. Legal regulations must be observed for the handling and disposal of used oil, filters and cleaning agents. Protect the starter key from unauthorized access. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. After completing maintenance, check that all tools have been removed from the engine and all guards have been replaced.

MAINTENANCE • Place a sufficiently large container under the oil drain plug to collect the used oil. • To drain the oil, remove the oil filler cap (6) and the oil drain plug (5). • Allow all oil to drain off, lifting the machine slightly at the back if necessary. DANGER! Used engine oil must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Page 24
MAINTENANCE The machine must be level and parked. Tensioning / changing the drive belt (Fig. 11) 1. Loosen the 2 screws (y) on the belt guard (I) and remove the belt guard upwards. 2. Check belt tension. 3. Re-tighten the drive belt (a) if the belt gives way by more than 10-15 mm (thumb pressure).
Page 25
MAINTENANCE • Remove the screw on the filling hole (G). • Remove drain plug (X). • Drain the transmission oil into a suitable shallow container. DANGER Used engine oil must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. We recommend that you hand over used oil in a closed container to a recycling center or a collection point for used oil.
