Fueling; Starting / Stopping The Engine - Stihl KM 55 R Instruction Manual

English

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 fire and
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.
