Starting the engine with a recoil-dampened crankhandle
Step Activity
1 Assume the correct position.
2 Grasp the handle bar with both hands.
3 First turn the crankhandle slowly until the drive dog and the en-
gagement mechanism of the crankhandle engage.
4 Turn the crankhandle forcefully with increasing speed. When the
decompression lever engages in the "0" position (compression),
the highest possible speed must be reached.
5 As soon as the engine starts, pull the crankhandle out of the
guide sleeve.
NOTICE
i
If recoil occurs during the starting process, the crank arm/drive
dog linkage releases via the handle bar due to the short reverse
rotation.
Starting with a crankhandle without recoil damping
Only applies to engines 2-4M41.
Step Activity
1 Assume the correct position.
2 Grasp the handle bar (1) with both hands.
3 Slowly turn the crankhandle until the drive dog (3) engages.
