– Commence pulling the starting cable vigorous-
ly and at an increasing speed (do not jerk it
violently) until the engine starts, Fig. 18.
On engines with an electric start system the
recoil starter also acts as an emergency-starter.
In this case the automatic decompression
system will switch back to normal compression
at a very low speed.
For this reason, please note that the starting
procedure described previously must be
followed exactly.
Note:
If after several attempts of starting the exhaust
begins to emit white smoke, move the speed adjustment lever to the STOP position and pull the
starting cable out slowly 5 times.
Repeat the starting procedure, Chapter 4.2.1.
4.2.3. Recoil starter without decom-
pression device (special version)
For use in regions with ambient temperatures of
–18 °C or lower, the engines are supplied without a decompression device.
At such low temperatures, only the electric
starter should be used.
The recoil starter serves as an emergency
starting device at higher temperatures (–6°C or
above).
– Prepare the engine for starting;
see Chapter 4.2.1.
– Pull out the handle with the cord slowly until
compression resistance is clearly felt; Fig. 16.
– Continue to pull slowly but with greater force
until the resistance becomes noticeably less
(compression overcome).
– Now let the cord run back - the engine is in
the correct starting position.
In this way the engine can be accelerated
through about one and a half revolutions with
the starting cord, to overcome compression resistance and achieved the required momentum
for starting.
– Support equipment with the foot if it is too
light in weight or liable to tip over.
– Take hold of the handle with both hands;
Fig. 17.
– Pull the starting cord up forcefully and at an
increasing speed (but do not jerk it) - the engine should then start.
4.2.4. Electric starter
– For starting preparations, see Chapter 4.2.1.
– Insert the key and turn it to position I, Fig. 19
and Fig. 20.
Depending upon the model, the battery charge
telltale „2“ and the oil pressure warning light „3“
will come on.
– The engine temperature display „4“ (additional
equipment) lights up if the temperature at the
cylinder head becomes too high.
Switch off the engine and trace and eliminate the cause of the problem, see chapter 6.
– Turn the key to position II.
– Release the key as soon as the engine runs.
The starting key must spring back to position I
and remain there during engine operation.
– The battery charge and oil pressure lights
should extinguish directly after the engine
starts. The display lamp „1“ lights up to show
that the engine is running.
– Prior to starting up again, the key has to be
returned to position 0. When the engine is
running the starter repeat lock in the ignition
switch will prevent the starter from engaging
and suffering damage.
