2.. FUEL AND OIL

RECOMMENDATIONS :

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely ﬂammable and can

be explosive under certain conditions,

creating the potential for serious burns.

Turn the ignition switch to “OFF”.

Do not smoke. Make sure the area is

well-ventilated and free from any source

of ﬂame or sparks;

this includes any appliance with a pilot

light.

Never ﬁll the tank completely to the top.

If the tank is ﬁlled completely to the top,

heat may cause the fuel to expand and

overﬂow through the vents in the tank

cap.

After refueling, make sure the tank cap is

closed securely.

If gasoline is spilled on the fuel tank,

wipe it off immediately.

NOTICE

Running on gasoline only will cause the

engine to seize. Use gasoline-oil mixture.

Kawasaki 2-stroke engine requires a gasoline-

oil mixture.

Gasoline and engine oil mixing ratio:

50:1

(Gasoline 50, 2-stroke engine Oil 1)

Pour the 2-stroke engine oil and the gasoline

into an appropriate container with the ratio

shown above, and shake it thoroughly to avoid

the separation of them. And then, pour it into the

fuel tank.

3.. ADJUSTMENT OF THROTTLE

CABLE :

Lock nut

Adjusting screw

Idle

screw

Throttle plate

Swivel

Stopper

● When setting the engine to equipments (bush

cutter. Etc.), adjust the throttle cable in the

following procedures.

1.. Remove the air cleaner cap. Loose the lock

nut.

2.. Turn the adjusting screw. Be sure that the

idle screw touches throttle plate at the swivel

and the play of the throttle cable is around

2 mm.

3.. Squeeze the throttle lever. Be sure that

throttle plate touches the stopper.

4. Tighten the lock nut.

.STARTING :

Fuel

●Level the engine before fueling.

●Open the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank

with 50 : 1 gas/oil pre-mixed fuel.

● Pour slowly to avoid “spill back” and allow air

to escape from the fuel tank.

● Close the tank cap securely by turning it

clockwise as far as it will go.

WARNING

Never ﬁll the tank so the fuel level rises

into the ﬁller neck. If the tank is overﬁlled,

heat may cause the fuel to expand and

overﬂow through the vents in the tank

cap. After refueling, make sure the fuel

tank cap is closed securely.

If gasoline is spilled on the fuel tank,

wipe it off immediately.

DANGER

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,

a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.

Do not operate the engine in enclosed

areas. Provide adequate ventilation at

all time.

Throttle lever

Engine switch

● Turn the engine switch on the engine or the

equipment to the “I” (starting) position.

● Move the throttle lever on the equipment to the

fully CLOSED (engine idle speed) position.

Priming pump

Fuel inlet tube

Over flow tube

(transparent)

● Slowly push the priming pump several times

until the fuel comes out of the overf ow tube.

NOTE

○This engine is designed so that overﬂowed

fuel due to pushing a priming pump is to be

returned to the fuel tank.

○There is no fear of ﬂooding the engine, so

push the priming pump enough times to get

the engine started.

NOTE

○Should the engine fail to start, do not try the

recoil start many times with the lift up lever to

the “STARTING” position or the choke lever

to the “CLOSED” position. This will cause

the fuel to ﬂood into the cylinder and make

starting even more difﬁcult. In this case, set

the lift up lever to the “RUNNING” position or

the choke lever to the “OPEN” position. And

then, repeat the starting.

○After starting, vary the engine speed a few

times, by operating the throttle lever to draw

out the remaining air in the carburetor.

.STARTING continued :

●Turn the lever clockwise to switch to the

“STARTING” position.

NOTE

○If the throttle lever is squeezed or locked

at half position, the engine won’t start. Be

sure the throttle lever is in the fully CLOSED

position.

NOTE

○When the engine is already warm up, no lift

up lever or choke lever required.

Recoil starter grip

●Pull the recoil starter grip slowly to engage

the starter, then give a short, quick pull.

WARNING

Releasing the starting rope suddenly

may allow the rope to whip around and

cause injury and/or damage the recoil

starting mechanism. When starting the

engine, ﬁrmly grasp the recoil starter

grip; do not grasp the starter rope itself.

Always control the rope as it rewinds

into the housing.

Throttle lever

Lift up lever

●Squeeze the throttle lever to switch the lift up

lever to the “RUNNING” (engine idle speed)

position, and then release the throttle lever

back to fully “CLOSED” (engine idle speed)

.WARMING UP :

●After starting the engine, run the engine at

the idling speed (throttle lever position is fully

CLOSED) for a few minutes.

NOTICE

Allow sufﬁcient warm-up time to prevent

engine damage and run the engine

smoothly. The engine should be run at idle

speed for a few minutes to allow it to warm

up before applying a load. This will allow

oil to reach engine parts, and allow piston

clearance to reach design speciﬁcations.

. ADJUSTING:

Idling Speed

● If the cutting blade move when the engine is

running at the idle speed, turn the idle screw

counterclockwise to decrease the engine idle

speed.

● If the engine does not run the idle speed, it

may be changed too low, turn the idle screw

clockwise to increase the engine idle speed.

The stable idle speed is shown below.

Fuel Adjustment

The carburetor has been adjusted to the

optimum fuel supply at the factory. Don’t reset

the carburetor setting.

NOTE

○If adjustment is needed, it should be

performed by your authorized dealer.

7. STOPPING :

Throttle lever

Engine switch

● Move the throttle lever on the equipment to the

fully CLOSED (engine idle speed) position,

and the engine running at idle speed.

● Turn the engine switch to the “O” (stopping)

position.

NOTICE

Suddenly stopping engine from high-

speed operation can cause engine damage.

Reduce engine speed to idle speed for one

minute before shutting engine off after

high-speed, full-load operation.

Emergency stop

● Turn the engine switch to the “O” (stopping)

position.

NOTE

○Never stop the engine by closing the choke

lever.

○Never stop the engine during operation while

running above idle speed.

● Shut off the engine and allow it to cool

before transporting or storing the unit.

● Do not put the unit on dry grass or near any

flammable object unless the engine is cold or

cooled down.
