Uendeshaji wa Injini
1. Utaratibu wa Kuanza
- Hakikisha injini iko kwenye uso wa usawa.
- Fungua vali ya mafuta (ikiwa imewekwa).
- Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (cold engine). For a warm engine, set to 'RUN'.
- Sogeza kipini cha kusukuma hadi kwenye nafasi ya 'FAST'.
- Grasp the recoil starter handle firmly and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly to start the engine.
- Mara tu injini inapoanza, sogeza hatua kwa hatua kiwiko cha kusongesha hadi mahali pa 'RUN' injini inapopata joto.
2. Utaratibu wa Kusimamisha
- Sogeza kipini cha kaba hadi kwenye nafasi ya 'POLEPOLE' au 'KUKOSA'.
- Washa swichi ya injini hadi nafasi ya 'ZIMA'.
- Close the fuel valve (if equipped) for storage or extended periods of non-use.

Matengenezo
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your engine. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and cool, and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
- Kubadilisha Mafuta: Badilisha mafuta ya injini baada ya saa 5 za kwanza za uendeshaji, kisha kila baada ya saa 50 au kila mwaka, chochote kinachokuja kwanza.
- Kichujio cha Hewa: Kagua na usafishe kichujio cha hewa kila baada ya saa 25 au zaidi katika hali ya vumbi. Badilisha ikiwa kimeharibika.
- BRADLEY SXNUMXPDCZ Inspect the spark plug every 100 hours. Clean or replace as needed and ensure proper gap.
- Mfumo wa Mafuta: Drain the fuel tank and carburetor if storing the engine for more than 30 days. Use a fuel stabilizer if draining is not possible.
