6. FILLING FUEL TANK
WARNING: When filling the tank:
The tool must always be stopped and cooled.
-
Never smoke during refueling. It must not have flames or sparks near the fuel
-
Before refueling, allow the chainsaw to cool completely. Do not attempt to refuel when the engine
-
is hot.
-
If fuel has been spilled, immediately stop refueling and do not start the engine. Clean up the spill
and fill the machine in another location.
Never fill the fuel tank to the flange; there is a risk of overflow. Do not refuel in a closed and
-
unventilated area.
-
Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 90 or above.
Mix all fuel with 2-cycle engine oil at a ratio of 40:1.
-
CAUTION!
This engine is to be operated on a 40:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle mixing oil only.
-
Oxygenated fuels may cause increased operating temperatures. Under certain conditions, alcohol-based
-
fuels may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some mixing oils. Never use any fuel containing more
than 10% alcohol by volume! When an oxygenated fuel must be used, fuel containing an oxygenate such
as MTBE is to be preferred over an alcohol based fuel.
Generic oils and some outboard motor oils may not be intended for use in high-performance air cooled 2-
-
cycle engines, and should never be used in this engine
Important! Only mix enough fuel for your immediate needs! If fuel must be stored longer than 30 days, it
-
should first be treated with a stabilizer.
Mixing
Mix in a clean, empty container (supplied).
-
Pour the oil into the container.
-
Pour the fuel into the tank. Mix the mixture long enough (more than one minute) to get a good combination.
-
Filling the fuel tank
-
Unscrew the fuel tank cap and remove it.
-
Fill the tank slowly with the mixture. Do not exceed the maximum capacity (fill to 80% of its capacity
preferably).
-
Replace the cap on the fuel tank and tighten it.
Wipe any spillage around the unit if necessary
