A damaged or broken handle bar can cause injuries. A worn
cranking shaft can slip out of the starting mechanism when start-
ing and also cause injuries.
▪ Check the crankhandle for a broken handle bar, worn crank-
ing shaft, etc.; replace if necessary.

7.5.1 Starting the engine with crankhandle
This chapter contains the following sections:
▪ Preparations for cranking the engine:
Adjust the continuous decompression.
▪ Crank the engine:
Crank the engine without compression (approx. 10-20 crank turns).
This lowers the resistance to rotation.
▪ Preparations for starting the engine:
Adjust the automatic decompression.
▪ Start the engine:
Cranking starts the cylinders one after the other and the decompression
is automatically canceled.
