17. Tighten the fuel tank cap after refuelling. Before working, check whether the
fuel tank is damaged or leaking. If damage is detected, switch off the machine
immediately and have the defective part replaced at an authorised workshop.
18. Empty the fuel tank before transport to prevent leakage.
19. Inhaling the exhaust fumes from this engine can lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning, which in extreme cases is fatal. Carbon monoxide is odourless,
tasteless, invisible and therefore particularly dangerous. If symptoms of
poisoning occur (tiredness, drowsiness, clouding of consciousness, feeling
unwell), consult a doctor immediately. Stop work immediately and move away
to an area with fresh air.
Caution!
Although the appliance has been designed with safety in mind and has protective
mechanisms and additional safety features, there is a small risk of accident or injury
during operation. It is recommended that caution and common sense be exercised
during use.
Preparation
Do not use the unit in ambient temperatures above 45°C and relative humidity
above 85%. The unit may only be used in well-ventilated rooms. The ventilation
openings of the unit must not be covered. Keep the unit away from hot surfaces.
Always use the appliance on a stable, fireproof surface and out of the reach of
children and persons with impaired mental, sensory and executive functions.
Before first use (and also every 10 hours of operation), check the level of the
engine oil and adjust it if necessary. To reduce the level, pour the engine oil through
the hole from the oil plug. To top up the oil or check the level, place the unit in an
upright position. The unit should be cold or at least 15 minutes after the last
operation.
