Adding Fuel; Motor Oil; Recommended Oil - Raider RD-GLM16 User Manual

of a fire.
• Do not use gasoline containing ethanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline. To protect the engine, we
recommend using a fuel stabilizer that is available at gas stations.
• Ensure that water and dirt do not enter the fuel tank.
• Fuel must not be older than 14 days.
II Note: Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastics. When topping up the fuel tank, be
careful not to spill gasoline. Damage caused by fuel spillage is not covered by the warranty.

ADDING FUEL

1. Open the driver's seat or remove the engine cover.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap (fig.15A).
3. Refill with funnel (fig.16).
4. Fill the fuel tank to no more than 1 cm below the bottom of the filler neck.
5. Don't overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine.
6. Close the fuel tank cap.
7. Fold the seat to the working position or close the engine cover.

MOTOR OIL

Note: This engine is supplied without oil, be sure to put oil in the engine before starting.
Use only under the recommended types of oil.

RECOMMENDED OIL

Use a four-stroke engine oil that meets or exceeds the performance class requirements of the SF,
SG, SH API classification or their equivalent.
For general year-round use, we recommend SAE 10W-30 HECHT 4T.
For general winter use, SAE 5W-40, HECHT 5W-40 is recommended.
Select an SAE grade of oil viscosity to match the temperature conditions of
the place of use (fig. 10).
DO NOT MIX OILS!
OIL LEVEL CHECK
CAUTION! Check the oil level only when the engine is cold.
1. Place the engine on a level surface. Check the oil level with the engine stopped and cooled.
2. For better access to the filler hole, open the engine cover.
3. Remove the cap / oil dipstick (fig.17A) and wipe it.
4. Insert the oil cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck until it stops, but do not screw it in. Now look at
the oil level on the dipstick (fig.18).
5. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, remove the cap / dipstick and
fill with the recommended engine oil between the upper and lower marks. Don't overfill.
6. Replace the cap / dipstick and close the engine cover.
HIGH ALTITUDE
• At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be extremely rich.
Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase.
• High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller fuel jet diameter in the carbu-
retor. If you always operate the machine at an altitude above 1600 m, please ask
Your authorized dealer to install high altitude.
• This machine will not perform well at high altitudes without proper adjustment. Contact an autho-
rized service center for setup information.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - BATTERY CHARGER
• Never use at rated voltage other than 230V / 50Hz. El. network must be protected accordingly. Do
not attempt to operate or use the appliances at any other voltage. This voltage is higher than the
safe voltage. Be careful when working and handling cables.
• Connect only to an electrical circuit that is protected by a surge protector with a tripping current
