j) Switching the Engine on/off
General information on combustion engines
At commissioning of the new engine, a certain run-in time must be complied with. During this time, engine
parts are tuned to one another, whereby maximal capacity is reached and premature wear is prevented.
Breaking in therefore needs to be performed very carefully!
For more information about breaking in, see chapter 8. h) and 8. i).
Starting
The vehicle's wheels should turn freely. Place the vehicle on a suitable car stand.
• Holdthemuferclosedandpullthecablestarterseveraltimesslowlytosuckfuelintothecarburettor.
Do this until there are no more visible air bubbles in the transparent hose between the tank and carburettor and the
fuel just about reaches the carburettor.
Attention!
Do not pull out the cable starter all the way but only to a maximum of 3/4 of its length. Determine the rope
length by slow extension (without the glow plug ignition being plugged on!).
Do not use any force for pulling out!
