Fueling

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.
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.
After fueling, tighten fuel cap as
securely as possible by hand.

Fitting the Harness

The type and style of the harness
depend on the market.
The use of the shoulder strap is
described in the chapter on "Approved
Combinations of Cutting Attachment,
Deflector, Handle and Harness".
