Filling Up With Fuel; Adjusting The Disc Guard - GEISMAR STUMEC MTZ 350S Manual

3.2.2 Filling up with fuel

Shake the can containing the mix vigorously before filling up the tank.
Before filling, clean the cap and its vicinity carefully to prevent any foreign matter from getting into the tank.
Position the machine so that the filler cap faces upwards.
Never fill up with the engine running.
Never fill up with the machine mounted on its guiding vice.
• Opening the cap (Fig.1): Push the cap downwards to the stop position by hand, turn anti-clockwise (about 1/8 of a
turn) and remove the cap.
Open the tank filler cap with care so that any excessive inside pressure can escape slowly without spraying
any fuel outside the tank.
Never use a tool for opening the bayonet-locking cap. This could damage the cap and lead to fuel escaping.
•
Fill up the tank in a well-ventilated area and never close to any possible sources of ignition, such as blowlamps,
sparks or welding residue.
When filling, take care not to spill the fuel and never fill the tank completely. Only add enough fuel for filling up
the tank to ¾ of its maximum capacity.
• Closing the cap (Fig.2): Put the cap into position and rotate it until it slips into the bayonet slots. Push the cap down
by hand to the stop and rotate it clockwise (about 1/8 of a turn) until it is engaged in position.
• Carry the machine at least 6m away from the filling point before starting it up.

3.3 Adjusting the disc guard

The position of the disc guard Ref.③ can be adjusted to suit the operator and
the position in which the cutting operation is to be carried out.
Its position must be adjusted not only to avoid it being a hindrance during
the cutting operation, but also to direct the sparks as far away from the
operator's feet as possible.
With the machine standing on the ground and the engine at a standstill, take
a firm hold on the front handle Ref.① with one hand and adjust the position
of the disc guard with the other hand, using handle Ref.②. The disc guard
can be moved over an angle of up to 35°.

There may be a pressure build-up in the can. Open carefully.
