Preparing The Fuel - Echo MB-580 Operator's Manual

Before you start

Preparing the fuel

 Do not fuel up while the engine is hot or in operation.
 Do not smoke or hold a flame near when refuelling.
If you do so, the fuel could ignite and cause fire, leading to burns.
 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.
 Fuel is a mixture of regular grade petrol and an air-cooled 2-stroke engine oil of reputable brand name. Minimum 89 Octane
unleaded petrol is recommended. Do not use fuel containing methyl alcohol or more than 10% of ethyl alcohol.
 Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days.
