Use of unapproved fuels will cause damage to

engine components, which will not be covered

under warranty.

NOTE Only use the fuel named in the technical

data table. Do not use other types of fuel. It is

possible to use ecological fuels, such as alkylate

petrol. The composition of this petrol has less of

an impact on people and animals. No negative

eects have been reported in connection to their

use. Nonetheless, there are types of alkylate

petrol on the market for which it is not possible

to provide specic indications on their use.

3.7 OIL

Use always high quality oils, choosing

their viscosity grade according to

the operating temperature.

• Only use detergent oil with a

quality of no less than SF-SG.

• Choose the SAE viscosity based

on the technical data table.

• The use of multigrade oil can lead to greater

consumption in hot weather, accordingly it is

necessary to check the level more frequently.

• Do not mix oils of dierent brands

and characteristics.

• SAE 30 oil, if used below +5°C, could

result in possible engine damage

due to inadequate lubrication.

3.8 AIR FILTER

The air lter must always be in perfect

working order, to prevent debris and dust

from getting sucked into the engine, reducing

the eciency and life of the machine.

• Always keep the ltering element free of

debris and in perfect working order (par. 5.6).

• If necessary, replace the ltering

element with an original spare part

Incompatible ltering elements can impair

the eciency and life of the engine.

• Never start the engine without mounting

the ltering element properly.

3.9 SPARK PLUG

Not all the spark plugs for endothermic

engines are the same.

• Use only spark plugs of the recommended

type, with the right heat range.

• Check the length of the thread,

because - if too long - it will damage

the engine beyond repair.

• Make sure that the electrodes are clean

and that their gap is correct (par. 5.7)

4. REGULATIONS FOR USE

4.1 BEFORE EACH USE

Before every use, perform the following checking

procedures in order to assure a regular operation.

4.1.1 Oil level check

1. Place the machine on a at surface.

2. Clean around the oil ll cap.

3. Unscrew the cap(g. 2.A), clean the end of

the dipstick (g. 2.B) and slide it back in until

the cap is touching the hole, as shown :

– if the dipstick is short, place the

cap without fastening it,

– if the dipstick is long, fasten it again

with a click and then unscrew it,

4. Remove the cap with the dipstick and

check the oil level that must be between

the «MIN» and «MAX» marks.

5. If oil is required, add oil of the same kind

up to the «MAX» mark, being careful

not to spill any outside the oil ll

6. Fully tighten the ller cap (g. 2.A)

and wipe o any spilled oil.

NOTE Top up gradually, adding small amounts

of oil, checking the level each time.

Do not top up beyond the «MAX» level;

an excessive level can cause:

• smoking from the exhaust;

• soiling of the spark plug or air lter with

subsequent diculty for ignition.

NOTE For the required type of oil, observe the

indications provided in the technical data table.

4.1.2 Air lter control

The eciency of the air lter is essential to correct

engine operation; never start the engine if the lter

element is missing, broken or insuciently saturated

with oil.
