ENGLISH
5.2 FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Open the engine casing as above. Unscrew the
filler cap and fill with clean, lead-free petrol. You
must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil (fig.
9).
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate
petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or
topping up. Fill up with fuel before
starting the engine. Never remove the
filler cap or fill with petrol while the
engine is running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an
empty space (= at least 2-3 cm at the top of the
tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms
up without overflowing.
5.3 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30
oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick.
Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the
dipstick. Slide it down completely and
tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the "FULL" mark, if
the level comes below it (fig. 10).
