PRESENTATION
Starter
The starter is of the magnapull type with spring
return. To replace the return spring or starter cord,
contact an authorized service workshop.
Starter handle
Misuse of the starter handle can damage the starter.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand. Pull
out the handle slowly until the gears mesh. Do not
pull out the starter cord completely and do not let
go of the starter handle when extended.
Fuel valve
The fuel valve opens and closes the connection
between the tank and the carburetor.
The illustration shows the tank valve closed; to
open, turn the lever completely to the right. There is
no middle position.
Turn off the valve when the machine is not in use to
avoid flooding the carburetor.
The fuel valve is combined with a sludge reservoir.
For cleaning instructions see the chapter
”Maintenance/Cleaning the sludge reservoir”.
Air filter
The engine air filter is located under the cowling. It
consists of a foam rubber pre-filter and a paper filter
cartridge. See the chapter ”Maintenance/Replacing
the air filter” for cleaning instructions. Running the
machine with a dirty air filter will cause the engine to
run on partial choke and show the same symptoms
as a forgotten choke described above. It can also be
difficult to start.
Choke control
The choke control opens and closes the choke valve
in the carburetor. This is only used to start a cold
engine.
The image shows the choke valve open; to close,
turn the lever to the left. The midway positions can
be used. When the engine starts, the lever can be
turned gradually to the right as long as it continues
to run smoothly. Forgetting the choke is evident as
the engine runs roughly and produces black smoke.
This also results in increased fuel consumption.
