- add fuel, using a funnel, only outdoors; do not smoke during this operation and each time fuel is handled;
- add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel while 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 dissipated.
• always put the fuel tank and 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 products.
3) Do not change the engine governor settings 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) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable before checking, cleaning or servicing the machine or the engine.
7) Do not crank the engine with spark plug removed.
8) Transport the machine with an empty fuel tank.

1) A routine maintenance is essential for safety 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 in any enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, ex haust silencer and fuel storage 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 coo led 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.

E) EMISSIONS

The combustion process generates toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.

It is important to control these substances because they can react with photochemical smog as well as with direct exposure to sunlight.

Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way to exposure to sunlight but it must still be considered toxic.

Our machines are equipped with emission reduction systems for the substances mentioned above.

3.2 ACCELERATOR CONTROL

The throttle trigger (generally a lever), fitted to the machine, is connected to the engine by a cable.

Consult the machine's Instructions Manual to identify the throttle trigger and its positions, usually marked by symbols, corresponding to:

CHOKE = to be used for starting from cold.

FAST = corresponds to maximum revs; to be used when working.

SLOW = corresponds to minimum revs.

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 maintenance.

The following information allow a better understanding and use of your engine.

4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

The operation of a four-stroke endothermic engine is affected by:

a) Temperature:

• Working in low temperatures could lead to a difficult cold starting.
• When operating at very high temperatures, a warm start could prove difficult due to evaporation of fuel in the float chamber of the carburettor or in the pump.
• In any case, the right kind of oil must be used, according to the operating temperatures.

b) Altitude:

• The higher the altitude (above sea level), the lower the max power developed by an endothermic engine.
• When there is a considerable increase in altitude, the load on the machine should be reduced and particularly heavy work avoided.

4.2 FUEL

A good quality fuel is the major issue for the engine reliability of operation.

Fuel must meet these requirements:

a) Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline, with a minimum of 90 octane.
b) Do not use fuel formulated with ethanol greater than 10%.
c) Do not add oil.
d) To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel.

Use of unapproved fuels will cause damage to engine components, which will not be covered under warranty.

4.3 OIL

Use always high quality oils, choosing their viscosity grade according to the operating temperature.

a) Only use SF-SG quality classified detergent oil.
b) Choose the SAE viscosity grade of oil from this chart:

$$ \begin{array}{l} - \text { from } 5 \text { to } 3 5 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} = \text { SAE } 3 0 \ - \text { from } - 1 5 \text { to } + 3 5 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} = 1 0 \mathrm{W} - 3 0 \ (M u l t i - v i s c o s i t y) \ \end{array} $$

c) The use of multi-viscosity oils in hot temperatures will result in higher than normal oil consumption; therefore, check oil level more frequently.
d) Do not mix oils of different brands and features.
e) SAE 30 oil, if used below +5°C, could result in possible engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.
f) Oil should be at «MAX» mark (see 5.1.1): do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause:
- Smoking;
- Spark plug or air filter fouling, which will cause hard starting.

4.4 AIR FILTER

The air filter must always be in perfect working order, to prevent debris and dust from getting sucked into the engine, reducing the efficiency and life of the machine.

a) Always keep the filtering element free of debris and in perfect working order (see 6.5).
b) If necessary, replace the filtering element with an original spare part. Incompatible filtering elements can impair the efficiency and life of the engine.
c) Never start the engine without mounting the filtering element properly.

4.5 SPARK PLUG

Not all the spark plugs for endothermic engines are the same!

a) Use only spark plugs of the recommended type, with the right heat range.
b) Check the length of the thread, because - if too long - it will damage the engine beyond repair.
c) Make sure that the electrodes are clean and their gap is correct (see 6.6).

5. STANDARDS OF USE

5.1 BEFORE EVERY USE

Before every use, perform the following checking procedures in order to assure a regular operation.

5.1.1 Check oil level

c) Unscrew the cap (1), clean the end of the dipstick (2) and replace it, resting the cap on the filler, as seen in the illustration, without tightening it.
d) Remove the cap with the dipstick and check the oil level that must be between the «MIN» and «MAX» marks.
e) If oil is required, add oil of the same kind up to the «MAX» mark, being careful not to spill any outside the oil fill.
f) Fully tighten the fillercap (1) and wipe off any spilled oil.

5.1.2 Check air cleaner

The efficiency of the air filter is fundamental for the engine to work properly. Do not start the engine if the filtering element is missing or broken.

a) Clean around the filter cover (1).
b) Remove the cover (1) by unscrewing the two knobs (2 - TRE0701 - TRE0801), or by pressing the tabs (2a - TRE0702).
c) Check the condition of the filtering element (3). It must be intact, clean and in perfect working order; if not, either carry out maintenance or replace it (see 6.5).
d) Put the cover (1) back.

5.1.3 Refuelling

IMPORTANT Do not drip fuel onto plastic parts of the motor or the machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of spilt fuel immediately. The warranty d cover damage to plastic parts caused by fuel. The fuel characteristics are given in the specific paragraph (see 4.2 and 8.1). Refuelling must be made when the engine is cold, following the instructions contained in the machine's Instructions Manual.

5.1.4 Spark plug cap

b) Use a compressed air gun (max. 6 bars) for preference, thus preventing debris and dust from penetrating inside.
c) Store the lawnmower (and the engine) in a dry place, sheltered from severe weather conditions and sufficiently ventilated.

5.8 LONG STORAGE (over 30 days)

In case the engine has to be stored for a long time (for example at the end of the season), a few precautions are needed to help the future start-up.

a) To prevent the formation of deposits inside the tank, empty it of fuel by unscrewing the carburettor float chamber plug (1) and collecting all the fuel in a suitable container. At the end of the operation remember to screw the plug (1) back on and fully tighten it.
b) Remove the spark plug and pour about 3 cl of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole, then, having blocked the hole with a rag, run the starter motor briefly to turn the engine for a few revs and distribute the oil over the inner surface of the cylinder. Finally replace the spark plug without connecting the cable cap.
