2. Safety Instructions

Always prioritize safety when operating or maintaining the engine. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage.

• Read the Manual: Understand all instructions and warnings before operation.

• Hot Surfaces: The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain hot for some time after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Moving Parts: Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating parts such as the flywheel and shaft.
• Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate eye protection when working with the engine.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the engine, especially during operation.

4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Initial Inspection

Before installation, inspect the engine for any visible damage from shipping. Ensure all fasteners are tight.

4.2 Adding Engine Oil

The engine is shipped without oil. It is crucial to add the correct type and amount of engine oil before first use. The engine features a low oil sensor that will shut down the engine if the oil level is insufficient.

1. Place the engine on a level surface.
2. Locate the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. Unscrew and remove the dipstick, wipe it clean.
4. Add recommended 4-stroke engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30) slowly until the oil level reaches the upper mark on the dipstick when reinserted (not screwed in).
5. Securely replace the dipstick.

4.3 Adding Fuel

Use only fresh, unleaded gasoline. The fuel tank capacity is 3.6 liters.

1. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
2. Open the fuel tank cap.
3. Carefully pour unleaded gasoline into the tank, avoiding overfilling. Leave some space for fuel expansion.
4. Securely replace the fuel tank cap.

4.4 Engine Mounting

The engine features a 19.00 mm conical shaft, designed for integration into various machines such as go-karts, lawnmowers, tillers, and power generators. Refer to the engine's technical drawing for precise dimensions and mounting points to ensure compatibility with your application.

5. Operation

5.1 Starting the Engine (Pull Start)

1. Ensure the engine is on a stable, level surface.
2. Move the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
3. If the engine is cold, move the choke lever to the 'CLOSED' position. If warm, set to 'OPEN'.
4. Move the throttle lever slightly to the 'FAST' position.
5. Grasp the starter grip firmly and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly to start the engine. Do not let the rope snap back.
6. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the 'OPEN' position.
7. Adjust the throttle to the desired operating speed.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your EBERTH engine. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and cool.

6.1 Engine Oil Check and Change

Check the oil level before each use. Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation, and then every 50-100 hours or at least once a season.

1. Warm up the engine for a few minutes, then shut it off.
2. Place a suitable container under the oil drain plug.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and the oil drain plug to allow the oil to drain completely.
4. Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten it securely.
5. Refill with the recommended amount and type of new engine oil (refer to Section 4.2).
6. Check the oil level with the dipstick and replace the filler cap.

6.2 Air Filter Maintenance

Clean the air filter every 25 hours or more frequently in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter reduces engine performance and increases fuel consumption.

1. Remove the air filter cover.
2. Remove the foam filter element.
3. Wash the foam element in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely.
4. Lightly oil the foam element with engine oil and squeeze out any excess.
5. Reinstall the filter element and cover.

6.3 Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement

Inspect the spark plug every 50 hours. Replace it annually or if it shows signs of wear, fouling, or damage.

1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
3. Inspect the electrode for wear and the insulator for cracks. Clean any carbon deposits with a wire brush.
4. Check the spark plug gap and adjust if necessary (refer to specifications for correct gap).
5. Install the new or cleaned spark plug and tighten it to the recommended torque.
6. Reattach the spark plug cap.
