Mikasa Automobile Parts MTX-60 Manuale Utente

The engine (Figure 2) must be checked for proper lubrica-
tion and filled with fuel prior to operation.  Refer to the
engine manufacturer's manual for  detailed operation and
service information.

1. Choke Lever – Normally used in starting the engine

in cold weather conditions. In cold weather, turn the
choke lever to the fully closed position. In warm
weather, set the choke lever halfway or completely
open.

2. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system.

Set spark plug gap to 0.024 - 0.028 inch (0.6 - 0.7 mm).
Clean spark plug once a week.

3. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method.

Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull
briskly and smoothly.

4. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

5. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to

determine if the engine oil is low. Add oil through this
filler port as recommended in Table 3.

6. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from

the engine's crankcase.

Engine components can generate
extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO
NOT touch these areas while the
engine is running or immediately
after operating. NEVER operate the
engine with the muffler removed.

Operating the engine without an air
filter, with a damaged air filter, or a
filter in need of replacement will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid
engine wear.
