3.16.3 AFTER THE FUEL HAS RUN OUT

Before starting the engine, when the fuel has run out and therefore air has entered the fuel supply circuit, it is
necessary to bleed the fuel supply circuit.
For the necessary operations, see "4.7.7 MAINTENANCE EVERY 500 HOURS OF OPERATION".

3.16.4 IF THE BATTERY IS DOWN

DANGER
• When checking or carrying out any operation on the bat-
tery, stop the engine and make sure that the ignition key is
in position « ».
• The battery produces hydrogen, which may explode. Do
not use naked flames and do not smoke near the battery,
and avoid producing sparks.
• The battery electrolyte is made of diluted sulphuric acid
that may corrode the clothes and even the skin; in case of
contact with this fluid, immediately rinse the involved part
with plenty of water.
If the acid gets into the eyes, immediately rinse with plen-
ty of water and consult a doctor without delay.
• When working on the battery, always wear goggles and
gloves.
• When removing the battery, disconnect first the earth ca-
ble (–); when installing the battery, connect first the posi-
tive cable (+).
• If a tool comes into contact with the positive terminal and
with the machine structure at the same time, this may
generate sparks with consequent risk of explosion.
• Carefully tighten the connection terminals, since false
contacts may generate sparks with consequent risk of ex-
plosion.
