Preparing The Fuel - Echo DM-6110 Operator's Manual

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. When using fuel containing ethyl alcohol, its con-
tent rate should be 20 - 25 %.
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days.
