the engine is running or when the engine is
hot;
– if you have spilt some fuel, do not attempt
to start the engine but move the machine
away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until the fuel
has evaporated and fuel vapours have dis-
sipated;
– always put the tank and fuel container caps
back on and tighten well.
4) Replace faulty silencers and the guard, if
damaged.
C) OPERATION
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
2) Do not use starting fluids or similar prod-
ucts.
3) Do not change the engine governor set-
tings or overspeed the engine.
4) Do not tilt the machine onto its side to the
point where fuel leaks from the fuel tank cap.
5) Do not touch the cylinder fins and/or the
silencer guard until the engine has cooled
down.
6) Turn the engine off and remove the spark
plug wire before inspecting, cleaning or
working either on the lawnmower or engine.
7) Do not crank the engine with spark plug
removed.
8) Transport the machine with an empty fuel
tank.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) A routine maintenance is essential for safe-
ty and for keeping a high performance level.
2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the
tank in an area where the fuel vapors could
reach an open flame, a spark or a strong heat
source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing the
lawnmower anywhere.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and fuel stor-
age area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease.
5) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this
should be done outdoors once the engine has
cooled down.
6)On safety ground, never use the engine
with either worn or damaged parts. Parts are
to be replaced and not repaired. Use genuine
spare parts. Parts that are not of the same
quality can damage the engine and impair
your safety.

spond to:
CHOKE = to be used for cold starting.
FAST
= top speed; to be used when
mowing.
SLOW = slowest speed.
4. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The engine performance, reliability and life are
influenced by many factors, some external and
some strictly associated with the quality of the
products used and with the scheduled mainte-
nance.
The following information allow a better under-
standing and use of your engine.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The operation of a four-stroke endothermic
engine is affected by:
a) Temperature:
– Working in low temperatures could lead to a
