4. FILLING OIL TANK AND FUEL TANK
Each time before use, check the following:
That there are no leaks in the fuel system.
That the equipment is in perfect condition and that the safety devices and cutting devices are complete.
That all screws are securely fastened.
That all moving parts move smoothly.
a) Fuel and oil
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as indicated
in the fuel mixing table.
Important: Do not use a fuel mixture which has been stored for longer than 90 days.
Important: Never use 2-stroke oil with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. The manufacturer's warranty
will be voided in case of engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.
Important: Only use containers designed and ap- proved for the purpose to transport and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the bottle).
Then shake the bottle well.
Never use oil for 4-cycle engine or use water cooled 2-cycle engine. It can cause spark plug fouling
exhaust part blocking or piston ring sticking.
Mixed fuels, which have been left unused for a period of one month or more, may clog the carburettor or
result in the engine foiling to operate property. Put remained fuel into an airtight container and keep it in the
dark and cool room.
b) Fuel mixing table
Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol/1-part oil
Example:
1 litre of petrol: 0,025 L 2-stroke oil
5 litres of petrol: 0,125 L 2-stroke oil
Warning!
Take care of the emission of exhaust gases. Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to a
machine with a running or hot engine. Take care of fire!
Only ever refuel the tool outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated rooms. Make sure not to spill fuel or chain oil
into the soil (environmental protection). Use a proper base.
c) Filling with fuel
Danger of injury! Fuel is explosive!
Turn the motor off and let the machine cool down. Wear safety gloves.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Make sure you observe the "Safety Instructions" paragraph.
•
Only ever refuel the tool outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated rooms.
•
Clean around the filling area. Contaminants in the tank will cause operating problems.
•
Before refuelling, shake the container with the fuel mixture.
•
Carefully open the fuel filler cap so that potential pressure can be release.
•
Carefully pour in the fuel mixture to the lower edge of the filler.
•
Close the fuel filler cap. Ensure the fuel filler cap closes tightly.
•
Clean the fuel filler cap and the area around it.
•
Check the tank and the fuel line for leaks.
•
Before starting the motor, remove yourself from the fuelling place by at least three metres.
