For your safety
Note
In general the term “unit” is used in
the following. The engine can be
installed in different units.
Danger!
Follow all safety and operating
instructions in the operating
manual for the unit on which this
engine is mounted.
Risk of explosion and fire!
Petrol and petrol vapours are
extremely flammable and
explosive. A fire or an explosion
may result in serious burns or
fatalities. If petrol gets onto your
body or clothing, wash skin
immediately and change clothing.
– Before refuelling, switch off the
engine and leave to cool down
for at least two minutes before
opening the fuel cap.
– Fill up the tank outdoors or in a
well ventilated area only.
– Use authorised fuel containers
only.
– Never fill up a petrol can in a
vehicle, tractor or on a trailer with
plastic panelling. Always fill a
petrol can on the ground and at
some distance from the vehicle.
– If possible, take motorised units
out of the heavy goods vehicle or
the trailer and refuel on the
ground. If this is not possible, fill
up these units with a petrol can
instead of directly with the petrol
pump hose.
– Always place and maintain the
fuel hose on the edge of the filler
neck on the tank or petrol can
until refuelling is complete. Do
not use the locking lever for con
-
tinuous filling.
– Do not overfill the tank. Fill the
tank until approx. two centi
-
metres below the rim of the filler
neck to allow the fuel to expand.
– Keep the fuel away from sparks,
naked flames, warning lights,
heat and ignition sources.
– Never refuel units in closed
rooms, as flammable vapours will
form.
– Do not smoke.
– Frequently check fuel lines, tank,
fuel cap and connection parts for
cracks and leaks. If required,
replace.
– Before starting the engine,
ensure that the spark plug,
exhaust, fuel cap and air filter
have been attached.
– Do not start the engine without
installed spark plug.
– Fuel has been spilled, wait until
the fuel has evaporated before
starting the engine.
– When operating units, do not tilt
the engine or the unit to such an
extent that fuel can run out.
– Do not use the choke to stop the
engine.
– Transport units with empty tank
only.
– Keep petrol or units with full tank
away from heaters, ovens, hot
water boilers or other equipment
which feature warning lights or
other ignition sources, as these
may ignite petrol vapours.
Risk of explosion and fire!
Sparks are generated when the
engine is started. These sparks
may ignite flammable vapours in
the vicinity. This may result in an
explosion or fire.
– Do not start the engine near
damaged, gas-operated
equipment.
– Do not use any pressurised
starting aids, as their vapours are
flammable.

-
doors only.
– Do not start or run the engine in
closed rooms, even if doors and
windows are open.
Risk of injury!
If the engine is started
unintentionally, this may result in
serious injuries, a fire or an electric
shock.
– Before carrying out any work,
e.g. settings or repairs, always
remove the spark plug terminal
and keep it away from the spark
plug.
– For ignition tests, use an autho
-
rised ignition tester only.
– Conduct an ignition test on a
spark plug which has been
removed.
Risk of burns! Risk of fire!
A running engine generates heat.
Engine parts, especially the
exhaust, are extremely hot. Do not
touch, otherwise you could receive
severe burns.
Flammable objects such as leaves,
grass, bushes, etc. may catch fire.
– Do not touch the exhaust,
cylinder block or cooling fins until
they have cooled down.
– Keep children away from a hot or
running engine.
– Remove flammable objects from
the vicinity of the exhaust and
cylinder.
Risk of electric shock! Risk of
fire!
Ignition sparks may cause a fire or
electric shock.
Risk of injury!
Rotating parts may touch or catch
hands, feet, hair, clothing or
clothing parts. This may result in
serious injuries.
– Operate the unit with installed
guards only.
– Keep hand and feet away from
rotating parts.
– Before starting work, tie back
long hair and remove jewellery.
– Do not wear loose-fitting clothing,
hanging strings or parts which
could become caught.
– Directly connected components,
such as cutters, fan impeller,
drive parts, etc., must be
attached securely.
Risk of electric shock if engine
has an electric starter!
When the ignition is switched on
and the engine is running, never
touch the electrical cables or
components. You may receive an
electric shock.
Risk of injury! Damage to the
unit!
Do not change the engine settings
which were preset at the factory.

Operating instructions
Checks to be carried out
before operating the unit
Recommended oil grades
Caution!
The unit is delivered without fuel and
with oil in the engine. If the engine is
operated without adequate oil, the
engine may be seriously damaged.
This damage is excluded from the
warranty.
Before starting the engine, check
the oil level and top up if
required.
Do not overfill. The oil tank has a
capacity of approx. 1.4 litres.
Use 4-stroke oil of classification SJ
or higher.
Select the viscosity of the oil from
the following table depending on
the outside temperature:
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use in the normal
temperature range. If single
viscosity oil is used, a viscosity
should be selected from the table
corresponding to the average
temperature in the area of use.
Caution!
If an inferior oil or an oil for 2-stroke
engines is used, the service life of
the engine may be damaged.
Checking the oil level
Caution!
When checking the oil, ensure that
the unit is on a level surface and that
the engine is switched off.
Always clean the area around the
dipstick before removing the
dipstick (fig. 3).
Fig. 2
 Unscrew the oil filler cap (1) and
wipe the dip stick clean.
Insert the dipstick into the inlet
nozzle and tighten.
Pull out dipstick again and check
oil level. If the level is too low,
slowly pour in a little oil up to the
upper “max” mark on the dip stick.
Before starting the engine, firmly
screw in the dip stick.
Caution!
Do not pour in too much oil. If the
engine is overfilled with oil, this
may result in engine damage,
smoke formation, starting
difficulties or sooted spark plug.
Recommended fuels
Danger!
– Under certain conditions petrol is
extremely flammable and
explosive.
– Only refuel in a well ventilated
environment with the engine
switched off. Do not smoke near
the tank or where fuel is stored
and extinguish all ignition
sources.
– Do not overfill the petrol tank
(there must be no fuel in the filler
neck). After refuelling, ensure
that the tank cap is closed and
secured.
– When refuelling, ensure that you
do not spill any fuel. Spilled fuel
or petrol vapours may ignite. If
fuel has been spilled, ensure that
the area has dried before
restarting the engine.
– Avoid repeated or prolonged skin
contact and vapour inhalation.
Risk of engine damage!
– Do not mix fuel and oil.
– Use clean, fresh and unleaded
fuel only.
– Use fuel with an octane number
of 87 or higher only.
– Do not use fuel of specification
E85/E15!
– Only store fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days.
– Do not leave any fuel in the tank
for longer than 30 days without
stabiliser – otherwise the
guarantee/warranty may be
voided.
– Ensure that no dirt, dust or water
gets into the tank.
Checking the petrol level
Caution!
Before refuelling, leave the engine
to cool down for at least two
minutes.
Follow the instructions in the unit
operating manual with regard to
checking the petrol level and filling
up.
