5. FILLING TANK
Warning: Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep the fuel in specially designed cans.
Only fill the tank outside and do not smoke during the operation.
Fill the tank before starting the engine. Never remove the fuel tank cap, add fuel while the engine is still
running, or while the engine is still warm.
Avoid overfilling the tank: When excess fuel has escaped, do not attempt to start the engine, but move
the machine away and avoid any sources of ignition in the vicinity until the fuel vapors Have dissipated.
Fully tighten all fuel filler caps and cans.
Fill the tank on the floor.
The engine must be started at a distance of at least 3 meters from where the fuel tank has been filled.
Switch off the engine before adding fuel. Shake the mixture thoroughly before filling the tank.
Store gasoline in tanks specially designed for this purpose.
Fill the fuel tank of your appliance outdoors and avoid smoking during work.
Fill the tank before starting the engine. Never open the fuel tank cap or fill fuel tank while the engine is
running or the engine is still hot.
Avoid spilling gasoline: When gasoline is spilled, do not start the machine and move it away from where
the gasoline has spilled to avoid possible sources of fire.
Screw all caps and tank cover carefully
Gasoline is highly flammable. Do not smoke and avoid sparks or open flames near the fuel. Turn the
engine off and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Filling must be done externally, ideally on the bare
ground. Leave at least 3 meters from where you filled the tank to start the engine.
The engine requires oil specially adapted for two-stroke engines with an air cooling system. Use quality oil
enriched with corrosion-inhibiting products explicitly provided for two-stroke engines with an air cooling
system (JASO FC or ISOEGC).
Do not use BIA or TCW OIL (suitable for 2-stroke engines equipped with a water cooling system).
SUGGESTED PROPORTIONS: GASOLINE 40: OIL 1
Exhaust emissions are regulated by the basic technical characteristics of the engine and its components
(carburation, adjustment of spark plugs, control of exhaust opening and closing times) in the absence of
accessories or a catalyst during combustion.
- These motors are designed for use with unleaded gasoline.
- Always use gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90RON.
- Using gasoline with a lower octane rating may cause an increase in engine temperature, causing
problems with the engine, including seizure.
- Using unleaded gasoline prevents unnecessary pollution in the interests of your health and the protection
of the environment.
- Using gasoline or oil of lesser quality can damage seal rings, ducts or fuel tank.
Prepare the mixture
IMPORTANT
MIX THE MIXTURE CAREFULLY.
a. Measure the fuel and oil needed for the fuel mixture.
b. Pour a little gasoline into a clean container provided for this purpose.
c. Add all the oil before stirring the can.
d. Add remaining gasoline and shake the can for at least 1 minute. Certain oils mix with difficulty because
of the substances they contain. Sufficient agitation of the mixture is essential to ensure proper operation
over the life and power of the engine. If your fuel mixture is not stirred sufficiently, the poor and
inadequate mixture may increase the risk of seizure.
e. Identify the can by locating it with a distinctive emblem in order to always know what is there.
f.
Indicate the substances contained and the proportions of the mixture.
