Breaking-In The Engine - Efco TR 1551 Manual De Instrucciones

OPERATION
• Open the fuel tap (A, Fig.27).
• Fill the carburetor by pushing primer bulb a couple of times (C,
Fig.27).
• Put the ON/OFF switch (B, Fig.28) in the "I" position.
• Put the choke lever (F, Fig.29) in the CLOSE position.
• Pull throttle lever (D, Fig.29) and lock it in the half-throttle
position by pressing button (E), then release lever (D).
• Grip the handle on the throttle side, lean the bar against
your body and pull the starter rope until it meets resistance
(Fig.31). Pull the starter rope hard a few times and when the
27
engine begins to turn, bring the choke lever (F, Fig.30) back to
the original position «OPEN». Repeat the procedure until the
engine starts. Once the engine is running, press the throttle (D,
Fig.29) to release it from the half-throttle position and let the
engine idle.
• When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the
rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope
snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.
• When the engine starts at starting-throttle, engine speed will
be fast enough for the clutch to engage and move the cutting
tool.

WARNING: Do not cut material with the choke/fast
idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position. Do not
operate your earth auger with the starting throttle
lock engaged. Cutting with the starting throttle lock
engaged does not permit the operator proper control
of the earth auger speed.
NOTE - STARTING WARM ENGINE:
Follow above starting instructions, but do not use the OPEN
(Fig.30) Choke position for start up again. To set fast idle for
warm engine starting, pull choke out completely and push
back in to the original CLOSE (Fig.30) Position.
29
WARNING: Weather conditions and altitude may
affect carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to
the earth auger while adjusting the carburetor.
WARNING: Never attempt to start the earth auger
when the bit is in a cut or kerf.

Breaking-in the Engine

The engine reaches the maximum power after 5-8 hours of activity.
During this period of breaking-in do not make the machine function
idly at full throttle, to avoid excessive functioning stress.
CAUTION! – During the breaking-in period do not
vary the carburetion to obtain a presumed power
increment; the engine can be damaged.
