Fueling

Preparations
N Before fueling, clean the filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
Always thoroughly shake the mixture in
the canister before fueling your
machine.
N Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.
In order to reduce the risk of burns
or other personal injury from
escaping gas vapor and fumes,
remove the fuel filler cap carefully
so as to allow any pressure build-
up in the tank to release slowly
Opening
N Raise the grip into an upright
position.
N Turn the cap counterclockwise
(approx. 1/4 turn).
N Remove fuel filler cap.
Refueling
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank.
