Lubricating The Guide Bar And Saw Chain - Echo PPF-236ES Operator's Manual

Do not fill fuel tanks indoors. Always fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground. Do not refuel the product on the load-
ing platform of a truck, or in other such places.
Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
Otherwise, fuel may get spewed.
Mop up any fuel that overflows or spills out due to overfilling.
Fuel spills can cause fire and burns when ignited.
After refuelling, always check that there are no leaks or discharges of fuel from the fuel pipe, fuel system grommets,
or around the fuel tank cap. If you do find fuel leaks or discharges, stop using the product immediately and contact
your dealer to have it repaired.
Any fuel leaks could cause fire.
Keep the refuelling tank in a shaded area away from fire.
Use an approved fuel container.

unleaded petrol is recommended. Do not use fuel containing methyl alcohol or more than 10 % of ethyl alcohol.
