Fuel Tank
Underneath the tank, there is a fuel fi lter combined
with the fuel valve. Tank capacity is 1.72 gallons (6.5
liters)
Fueling
Read the safety instructions before fueling.
Keep the fuel and fuel tank clean. Avoid fi lling the
machine with dirty fuel. Make sure the fuel cap is
properly tightened and the gasket is not damaged,
particularly before washing the machine.
Use unleaded gasoline with minimum 86 octane rating.
Never use gasoline mixed with two-cycle oil. For
ethanol and methanol fuel, the following applies:
Maximum allowable ethanol 10% (volume).
Maximum allowable methanol 5% (volume).
Maximum allowable MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) 15% (volume).
If the engine "bolts" at normal load it can be damaged.
Change the fuel. If this does not help, contact an
authorized service workshop.
Do not fi ll the tank completely; leave space for the fuel
to expand as it warms up.
Centrifugal Clutch
The engine is equipped with a centrifugal clutch that
is connected to the crankshaft. When the engine
speed increases, the drive for the cutting wheel
engages automatically. The centrifugal clutch is
maintenance-free; it is not possible for the user to
make adjustments.
The clutch should have oil added before delivery.
Check oil level before fi rst use.
Throttle
The lever controls engine speed.
Pull the throttle handle toward the handle bar to
increase engine speed.
