STARTING ENGINE
1. Open the fuel cock (fig 11).
2. Make sure that the sparking plug cable is prop-
erly in place.
3. Check to make sure the power take-off is en-
gaged.
4a. Classic:
Put the gear lever in neutral.
4b. President-Pro16-Pro18:
Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
5a. Classic-President:
Starting cold engine - put the throttle control in the
choke position. Starting warm engine - put the
throttle control at full throttle (1 - 1.5 cm below the
choke position).
5b. Pro16-Pro18:
Put the throttle control at full throttle. Starting cold
engine - pull the choke control out fully. Starting
warm engine - do not touch the choke control.
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.
7. Turn the starter key and start the engine.
8a. Classic-President:
Once the engine has started, move the throttle con-
trol gradually to full throttle if the choke has been
used.
8b. Pro16-Pro18:
Once the engine has started, push the choke control
in gradually if it has been used.
9. When starting from cold do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the mo-
tor run for some minutes first. This will allow the
oil to warm up.
STOPPING
Disengage the power take-off and apply the park-
ing brake.
Allow the engine to idle for 1 - 2 minutes. Stop the
engine by switching off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer,
for example.
If the machine is left unattended to, re-
move the lead from the spark plug. Also
remove the starter key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.
Machines with catalytic converters:
The catalytic converter gets very hot during opera-
tion. The heat remains for a long time after the en-
gine has been stopped.
Avoid risk of fire:
- do not park in close proximity to inflammable
objects.
- do not cover the machine until the catalytic con-
verter has cooled down.
OPERATING
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on
