Pre-start checks
The following inspection must be performed before the start of each work session or after every four hours of
use, whichever is first. Please consult the service section for detailed guidance. If any fault is discovered, the
machine must not be used until the fault is rectified.
1. Thoroughly inspect the machine for signs of damage.
2. Check hoses, filler openings, drain plugs and any other areas for signs of leakage. Fix any leaks before
operating.
3. Check the engine oil level and top up if required. Use proper engine oil with the proper viscosity (SAE 10W-
30 is recommended).
4. Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary. Use clean fuel. The use of contaminated fuel may
damage the fuel system.
5. Check for oil and fuel leaks.

to the right.
2. If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving
the choke lever fully to the left. If restarting a warm engine,
the choke is usually not required, however, if the engine has
cooled to a degree, partial choke may be required.

4. Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle
lever fully to the right. Do not start the engine on full throttle.
5. Taking a firm hold of the control handle and set the
centrifugal switch to ON if not already, grasp the recoil
starter handle with the other. Pull the recoil starter until engine resistance is felt, then let starter return.
6. Taking care not to pull the starter’s rope fully out, pull the starter handle briskly.
7. Repeat until the engine fires.
8. Once the engine fires gradually set the choke lever to the OFF position by moving it to the right.
9. If the engine fails to fi re after several attempts, follow the troubleshooting guide on page 12.
10. To stop the engine, set the throttle to idle and release the control switch safety switch. Alternatively turn
the engine ON/OFF switch anti-clockwise to the ‘O’ position.
