Operating Instructions
Cleaning the Air Filter
During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.

During operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
Dirty air filters reduce engine power
increase fuel consumption and make
starting more difficult.

cover and inspect it –
if it is dirty or damaged, fit a new
one.

fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry

screws (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
