Starting the engine
Safety note
CAUTION
Danger of injury from recoiling of the engine.
▪ Use a crankhandle with a recoil damper.
▪ Hold the handle bar so that it cannot twist and quickly turn
the crank so that continuous traction between the engine
and crank is ensured.
▪ If recoil occurs due to cautious turning where the engine
starts in the opposite sense of rotation under certain circum-
stances (smoke from the air filter), release the crankhandle
immediately and stop the engine.
▪ To repeat the starting process, wait until the engine has
stopped; only then recommence start preparations.
CAUTION
Danger of injury if the crankhandle recoils or turns with the
engine.
▪ The use of crankhandles without recoil damping is not per-
missible within the European Union.
