Commissioning
Please note that durability and operational safety of the engine depend to a large
extent on its breaking-in. Always allow a cold engine to warm up for some minutes
and never run it at full throttle at the beginning.
Please note: for the first 20 hours of operation (break-in period) do not use the
engine at full power.
Make sure you check and maintain air filters regularly and use clean fuel.
Only use branded petrol.
Only use fresh, clean fuel (not older than 3 months) and approved fuel cans to be
purchased in special shops. Rusty sheet metal cans or fuel cans not suited for
petrol/Diesel are not permitted.
For the first commissioning or after longer periods of no operation, fill fuel tank to
maximum to avoid starting problems.
Be careful when dealing with fuel.
Fuel is easily inflammable and explosive in certain conditions!
