4. CHECKS BEFORE STARTING<br />
IS THE ENGINE READY TO START?<br />
To ensure your safety and to maximize the service life of the engine<br />
its condition must be checked before each start. Correct any possible<br />
problems or have them remedied by your customer service before<br />
starting the engine.<br />
Improper maintenance or troubleshooting prior to<br />
starting may trigger malfunctions and cause serious injuries.<br />
Regular inspections before starting help prevent problems.<br />
Make sure before beginning with your check that the engine is<br />
placed on level ground and the ignition switch is set to OFF.<br />
Inspect the general condition of the engine<br />
� Check to see whether any traces of oil or gasoline leaks are<br />
present around or underneath the engine.<br />
� Remove coarse dirt buildup especially in the area of silencer<br />
and cranking rope.<br />
� Check for any possible damages.<br />
� Check whether all protective covers are properly installed and<br />
all screws and nuts are firmly tightened.<br />
Inspect the engine<br />
Check the oil level of the engine. The engine may sustain damage<br />
when running with the oil level too low.<br />
Check the oil level before each start to avoid unexpected downtimes.<br />
Check the air filter. A soiled air filter reduces the air supply to the<br />
carburettor and thus the engine power.<br />
Check the gasoline level. Starting the engine with a full tank avoids<br />
or reduces standstill times for fuelling.<br />
Inspect the machine powered by the motor<br />
Before starting the engine read the operating instructions for the<br />
machine powered by this engine, and follow the directions and safety<br />
precautions contained in them.<br />
