Switching Off The Engine; Practical Tips; Working With The Petrol Power Scythe - EINHELL GC-BC 36-4 S Originalbetriebsanleitung

6.1 Topping up with fuel
Remove the tank lid (Fig. 1 / Item 6) and pour pe-
trol into the tank using a fi ller opening. Make sure
that you do not overfi ll the tank and spill petrol.
(If you do spill any petrol, wipe it up and wait until
the vapors have evaporated (danger of ignition.)
Close the tank cap.
6.2 Topping up with oil
Open the oil fi ller screw (Fig. 14a/Item 10) and
pour in approx. 0.1 liters of engine oil up to the top
mark (Max.) on the oil dipstick (Fig. 14b).
Note! The equipment must be fi lled with engine oil
and fuel before it is started.
7. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
Before starting up the equipment remove the pro-
tective caps from the cutting blade.
7.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill an adequate amount of petrol into the tank.
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7)
10 times.
3. Put the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to „I".
4. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to „ „.
5. Grip the device fi rmly and pull the starter
cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) out until you feel the fi rst
resistance. Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 6 times. The device should start.
Note! Never allow the starter line to snap
back. This may result in damage. Once the
engine has started, move the choke lever im-
mediately to " " and allow the device to warm
up for approx. 10 seconds.
6. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps
4-5 above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
Troubleshooting". Please note: Always pull the
starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out
at an angle, then friction will occur on the eyelet.
As a result of this friction, the cable will become
frayed and will wear away faster. Always hold the
starter handle when the cable retracts. Never
allow the cable to snap back when it has been
pulled out.

7.2 Starting the engine when warm
(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7)
10 times.
4. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The
equipment should start after 1-2 tugs. If the
equipment does not start after 6 pulls, repeat
steps 1 – 7 of the procedure for starting the
engine from cold.
7.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment im-
mediately, set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0"
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engi-
ne has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/
OFF switch to "Stop" or "0".

7.4 Practical tips

Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the equip-
ment.
8. Working with the petrol power
scythe
Extending the cutting line
Caution! Do not use any kind of metal wire or
metal wire encased in plastic in the line spool.
This may cause serious injuries to the user.
To extend the cutting line, run the engine at full
speed and tap the line spool on the ground. This
will automatically extend the line. The blade on
the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate
length (Fig. 26).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants
at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube over-
heating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become
trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 27) and
prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate
ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using
a screwdriver or the like.
