4.1.3. Fuel
Stop the engine before refilling the
fuel tank. Never refuel near a naked
flame or sparks which could start a fire. Don't
smoke. Use only pure fuel and clean filling
equipment. Take care not to spill fuel.
All diesel oils which satisfy the following specifi-
cations are suitable:
EN 590 or
DIN 51601 - DK or
BS 2869 A1 / A2 or
ASTM D 975 - 1D / 2D
– Remove fuel tank cap, Fig. 10.
– Fill the fuel tank at least half full with diesel oil,
Fig. 11.
The fuel system does not require to be bled
as this is done automatically.
– Replace fuel tank cap, Fig. 12.
At temperatures below 0 °C, winter-grade fuel
should be used or paraffin added to the fuel well
in advance.

Do not run the engine in closed or
badly ventilated rooms – danger of
poisoning! Before starting the engine, ensure
that no-one is in the danger area close to the
engine or equipment, and that all protective
guards are fitted.

4.2.1. Starting procedure
If possible, disengage the engine from any
driven equipment.
The auxiliary equipment should always be placed
in neutral.
– First of all set the speed adjuster to the STOP
position, Figures 13 and 14, then move it to
the starting position.
Speed adjuster, standard version
– Set speed adjustment lever „1“ either to 1/2
START or max. START position, as desired or
necessary (Fig. 13).
Starting at a lower speed will help to prevent
exhaust smoke.
Speed adjuster with pull rod
– Move speed adjuster to the „START/RUN“
position, Figure 14.
Never use starting sprays!
Fig. 15.
4.2.2. Recoil starter with decompression
device (down to –6 °C)
– Starting procedure, see Chapter 4.2.1
The engine has an automatic decompression
system, which allows for a start from any posi-
tion. However, we would like to recommend the
following procedure:
– Pull the starting cable out by the handle until
you feel a slight resistance, Fig. 16.
– Let the cable run back; in this way the entire
length of the starting cable can be used to
start the engine.
– Devices which are not securely fastened
should be restrained with the foot.
– Grip the handle with both hands, Fig. 17.
