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 />
