USER INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting the motor and before starting using it, carry out all the following controls:
•
Check that the cable exit hole of the fin is undamaged all around, and in particular that that its edge is not
sharp or ragged. If damaged, it is necessary to replace the tube, ref. 7456.
•
Make sure that the oil level is not below minimum: Unscrew the cap (fig.1 no.11), use a rag to clean the dip
stick and screw the cap back on. Unscrew the cap again and check whether the oil level falls within the
minimum and maximum levels indicated. If the oil level is below minimum, add more oil until a suitable level
is reached. (ask a trusted supplier for a suitable oil typology).
ATTENTION!!! THE MOTOR OIL DOES NOT COME SUPPLIED WITH THE MACHINE
•
Make sure that all of the screws are tightened properly.
•
Make sure that all of the levers are in their neutral positions (fig.1 no.6/no.9).
•
Clean the air filter of any obstructions (see the motor's manual).
•
Refuel the machine through its filtered fuel opening.
•
Open the fuel tap (see the motor's manual).
•
If the motor is cold, the gas throttle (fig.1 no.3) must be set to its START position.
•
Pull the motor's starter handle (fig.1 no.2) with force. Before using the machine, wait for a few minutes in
order to allow the motor to reach its proper operating temperature.
BE SURE TO ALSO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBED WITHIN THE MOTOR'S MANUAL.
Before initiating any work activities, position the cable upon the spool, adjust the machine's cable laying depth and tie
the loose end of the cable to a peg. Make sure that there are no people, animals or foreign objects within 15 metres
of the machine. Start the motor and wait for it to reach its proper operating temperature before beginning. Bring the
cutter activation lever (fig.1 no.9) and the advancement activation lever (fig.1 no.1) to their working positions and
begin working. Use maximum caution while operating the machine. Be sure to carefully read the operation
descriptions provided below. During the summer, or whenever operating upon dry terrain, it is recommended to
water the operating area abundantly the day before the work is to be performed.
THE MACHINE MUST BE SUBJECTED TO A TRAIL STAGE! THE BELTS WILL ADJUST DURING THE FIRST HOUR OF
WORK. MAKE SURE THAT THE TENSION ADJUSTMENT SPRINGS ARE ALWAYS WORKING PROPERLY (fig.1 no.4/no.5).
POSITIONING THE CABLE UPON THE SPOOL
Given the various cable and spool typologies which are available on the market, it is recommended that the cable be
wound upon the supplied cable spool (fig.1 no.10), using the appropriate handle upon the spool itself. This will
facilitate the cable loading operations. In order to guarantee proper unwinding (fig.3), it is important that the cable be
wound upon the spool in a clockwise direction. If the user should want to use a spool with cable already wound upon
it, the left hand side of the supplied cable spool can be removed by loosening the three knobs (fig.4) and by slightly
turning the side of the spool itself. Position the new spool over the supplied spool's central cylinder, using any
adaptors as required, and reattach the side which was previously removed. Be sure to tighten the fastening knobs
properly. Once the cable has been properly positioned upon the spool, the loose end of the cable must be inserted
into the appropriate tube (fig.5) until a few centimetres of cable come out the bottom.
