General

WARNING! Running an engine in a confined
!
or badly ventilated area can result in death
due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide
poisoning. Use fans to ensure proper air
circulation when working in trenches or
ditches deeper than one meter (3 foot).
Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inflammable
and can cause serious injury when inhaled
or allowed to come in contact with the skin.
For this reason observe caution when
handling fuel and make sure there is
adequate ventilation.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot
and may contain sparks which can start a
fire. Never start the machine indoors or near
combustible material!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.

Fuel

Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10% ethanol
(E10) may be used. It may cause starting and/or performance
problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts
of the fuel system, as well as posing a fire hazard. The engine
will not operate on gasoline marketed as E-85 (85% ethanol).
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
Do not use fuel that is older than 30 days. Old fuel can cause
running problems as well as fuel system damage.

Fueling

WARNING! Always stop the engine and let it
!
cool for a few minutes before refuelling.
Refuel in a well ventilated area. Never fuel
the machine indoors.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Never overfill the fuel tank.
Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Check for fuel leaks.
Negligence may lead to the start of a fire.
Remove the machine from the vehicle and refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible, refuel the equipment with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Use only approved gasoline containers.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle. Always place the
container on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fuelling is complete. Do not
use a nozzle lock-open device.

FUEL HANDLING

Never start the machine:
If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Disposal

Used engine oil is a health hazard and must not be disposed
of on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of
at a workshop or appropriate disposal location.

Transport and storage

Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no
risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks
or naked flames, for example, from electrical machinery,
electric motors, electrical relays/switches or boilers.
When storing and transporting fuel always use approved
containers intended for this purpose.
Long-term storage
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must
be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out where
to dispose of excess fuel.
