OPERATION

FUEL & OIL
YOUR MACHINE IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT ENGINE OIL OR PETROL
Operating the engine with insufficient oil, can have catastrophic consequences. Any failure caused by
insufficient oil, will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
READ THE SUPPLIED BRIGGS & STRATTON OPERATORS MANUAL CAREFULLY.
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 3 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 15 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
IMPORTANT:
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essential carburettor components. This could result in starting issues which would not be covered by your
manufacturer's warranty.
Ensure that any stored petrol is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum of 30 days,
if not mixed with a fuel additive. If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the fuel tank,
start the engine and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE (HP-199) from Handy Parts. A fuel
additive added to your fuel at the time of purchase, will help make your machine easier to start, extend the
shelf life of your fuel mixture for up to two years, keeps the carburettor & engine clean, plus reduces emissions
and increases fuel economy. A 250ml bottle of SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE will treat 25 litres of fuel. Only use
4-stroke SAE30 or 10W/30 air cooled lawnmower engine oil. DO NOT USE automotive or marine oil.
HOW TO ADD FUEL
Fuel Recommendations - refer to the Briggs & Stratton operators manual supplied with your machine.
Petrol and its vapours are extremely flammable and explosive.
ADDING FUEL
Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) below top of neck to allow for fuel
expansion. Fuel tank capacity: See Briggs & Stratton Instruction Manual.
· Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
· Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
· If fuel spill, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
1. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the fuel tank with petrol. To allow for expansion of petrol, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank
neck.
3. Reinstall the fuel cap.
