Operation instructions
I M P O R T A N T
Do not operate the engine at maxi-
mum speed right from the start, as
the engine itself as well as the gear-
ing components need a running-in
time. The engine itself reaches its
maximum capacity after the first 10
hours of operation. Non-compliance
with this instruction reduces your en-
gine lifespan substantially.
During refuelling open light, fire, sparks
or smoking is forbidden.
Don’t refuel when the engine’s running
or some components are still hot.
Only refuel outdoors or in good venti-
lated rooms.
Always wipe off spilt fuel immediately.
Fuel is flammable easily!
