See the specific chapter (8.1) for the oil to be
used.
a) Place engine level.
b) C lean around oil fill.
c) U nscrew the cap (1), clean the end of the dip-
stick (2) and replace it, resting the cap on the
filler, as seen in the illustration, without tighten-
ing it.
d) R emove the cap with the dipstick and check
the oil level that must be between the «MIN»
and «MAX» marks.
e) I f 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) F ully tighten the fillercap (1) and wipe off any
spilled oil.
5.1.2 Check air cleaner

the engine to work properly. Do not start the
engine if the filtering element is missing or broken.
a) C lean around the filter cover (1).
b) R emove the cover (1) by unscrewing the two
knobs (2 - TRE0701 - TRE0801), or by press-

d) P ut the cover (1) back.
5.1.3 Refuelling

IMPORTANT

Do not drip fuel onto the
plastic parts of the motor or the machine to pre-

spilt fuel immediately. The warranty does not
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.

(2), making sure that there are no traces of dirt
inside the cap and on the spark plug terminal.
5.2 STARTING THE ENGINE (cold)

•) F ollow the whole cold-starting procedure with
throttle control in «FAST» position.
5.4 USE OF THE ENGINE IN OPERATION

engine's yield and performance, by setting the
throttle trigger to «FAST».

from the silencer and surrounding areas
that can become extremely hot. With the
engine running, do not get loose­fitting
clothing (ties, scarves, etc.) or hair closer
