Starting / Stopping the engine
ENGLISH 12
10. Starting / Stopping the engine
x Before every use and before every start of the
mistblower check and ensure the machine is in
good and safe condition. (throttle operation,
ignition switch, safety devices, shoulder strap
and check for fuel leaks)
x During the starting procedure and while
operating the mistblower, the operator must
have secure footing and have a safe body
position.
x The engine starting site should be at least 3
meters away from the refueling site.
Starting with cold engine
x Switch ignition switch to ”I” position and close
(OFF) formula on/off tap .
x Move throttle lock lever to ”Start” position.
Close choke with choke lever (10).
x Press primer (11) several times until fuel is
visible in the primer.
x Place your left hand on the formula tank of the
mistblower. Hold the starter handle (Fig. 1.Pos.
7) with your right hand and pull the handle up
slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull up firmly
and rapidly until the engine ‘fires’.
x Once the engine tries to start, immediately open
the choke and continue to start.
x When the engine runs, use the throttle lever to
accelerate to the required engine speed. For
continuous use, set the throttle lock lever (Fig. 1,
Pos. 18) in the required position for the desired
engine speed.
x To return to idling speed, either release the
throttle lever or move throttle lock lever down to
”min” position.
Starting with warm engine after short stop
x Leave choke in ”open” position
and start
engine.
Should the engine refuse to start despite several
starting attempts, the combustion chamber is most
likely flooded.
In this case we recommend you remove and dry
the spark plug (Fig.1, 4). Set the ignition switch to
”stop” and set throttle lock lever (Fig. 1, 18) to full
throttle position ”max”. Pull over engine several
times, still with spark plug removed. This will
ventilate the combustion chamber
Replace spark plug and repeat starting procedure.
