FILLING THE FUEL AND CHEMICAL TANKS This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol and with the mix ratio 50:1. Your engine requires a mixture of gasoline and quality two-stroke engine oil with the classification TC. Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90 RON. If the octane number of the regular grade gasoline in your area is lower use premium unleaded fuel.
STARTING THE MACHINE Before starting, place the unit on a clear patch of ground. Make sure you have a firm foothold, keep a firm grip on the machine and check that there are no objects which could be sucked in by the fan (between engine and back plate).
