Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-
stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the
amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is
obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small
inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
!
ventilation when handling fuel.
Petrol
• Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol.
• The lowest octane recommended is 90. If you run the
engine on a lower octane than 90 it can result in knocking.
This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can
result in serious engine damage.
Two-stroke oil
• For best results and performance use PARTNER two-
stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• If PARTNER two-stroke oil is not available, you may use
another two-stroke oil of good quality that is intended for
air cooled engines. Contact your dealer when selecting an
oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%)-1:25 (4%).
• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Mixing
• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended
for fuel.
• Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.

machine's fuel tank.

Fuelling

WARNING! Taking the following precautions,
!
will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
• Keep the handle dry and free from oil and fuel.
• Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before filling the tank.
• Always exercise care when refilling the fuel. Move the
machine at least three metres from the fuelling area
before it is started. Check that the fuel cap is tightened
correctly.
• Clean around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and oil tank
regularly. The fuel filter should be changed at least once a
year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
