Separate yourself at least 3 meters from the refueling
area before starting the machine.
Add fuel before starting the machine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank while the engine is running or
when the machine is hot.
Do not use fuels such as ethanol or methanol. These
fuels will damage the engine of the machine.
6.3.2. ENGINE OIL
For transportation reasons, your machine's engine
comes from the factory without any oil in it. Before
starting the engine for the first time you must put oil
the engine.
This engine uses quality oil for
4-stroke, 20w-40 viscosity. The
20W-40 1,1l capacity of the crankcase is 1,1 l.
Filling the oil sump:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Insert the filled 1,1 l of oil tube.
- Wait 1 minute for the oil to completely go down to
the crankcase.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left
by oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum, add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum, you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt the
machine and let out a little oil (put a container
at the end of the tube to prevent oil spilling on the
machine or the ground).
6.4. START-UP
6.4.1. CHECKPOINTS BEFORE COMMISSIONING
The machine must be mounted and must be used

Before starting the engine, ensure that the entry chute

the entry hopper, clear of the exit shoot and clear of all
rotating elements.
Maintain a good balance on both feet.
Do not lean on the machine.
Maintain yourself well clear of the exit area whilst the

If the blades hit a strange object (any other object

stop the engine so that the blades stop turning. Take
the machine to your nearest service agent for repair.
If the machine gets stuck, you must stop it and wait
