Electrolux Supreme 300L Instruction Manual page 9

• Fill the tank in a well-ventilated place.
• Place the machine on a solid flat surface so
that it cannot tip over, with the cap on the tank
facing upward.
• Clean the area around the fuel cap before
removing it, to prevent any impurities from
contaminating the fuel.
• Take the cap off the fuel container carefully.
Unscrew the cap on the fuel tank and fill it with
the necessary quality, using a funnel.
• Take care not to spill any fuel.
• After filling the tank, screw the cap on tightly.
• During use, to prevent problems in starting the
engine again, we strongly recommend that you
avoid letting the fuel run out in the tank.
CAUTION! If you spill any fuel, wipe it
off the machine. If you have spilt it on
yourself, change your clothes at
once. Avoid contact with the skin or
eyes.
E1,E2. Assembly of safety guard
Fit the safety guard (A) against the gearbox (I)
position the lower clamp (G) in the housing under
the shield and the upper clamp (F) over the shaft.
Insert and tighten the screws (H).
E1. Safety guard extension (exclusively for
use with nylon string head)
• The extension (B) should be installed only for
use with the nylon string head, with the aid of
the string cutter blade (L), that regulates the
length of the string and thus the cutting
diameter.
F. Usable cutting tools and their installation on the machine
CAUTION! The following are the only
cutting devices that can be installed
on your machine:
a) Nylon string head
b) Grass blade with a maximum of 8
teeth.
Each of these devices requires the
installation of a special guard.
Follow the instructions for correct
assembly carefully. Fasten the
cutting tools correctly with all their
parts in the order indicated so as to
prevent severe injuries to the
operators, other people and animals.

Fuel storage
• Gasoline is highly inflammable.
• Before going near any type of fuel, put out your
cigarette, pipe or cigar.
• Store the fuel in a cool, well-ventilated place, in
an approved fuel storage container.
• Never store the engine with fuel in the tank in a
poorly ventilated place where the fumes
produced by the gasoline could propagate and
reach a fire, candle, burner or furnace pilot
light, water heater, dryer, etc.
• The fumes produced by the fuel can cause an
explosion or fire.
• Never store excessive quantities of fuel.
E. Assembly of safety guard
• For correct assembly see the illustration on the
cover and perform the following sequence of
steps:
• Insert the extension (B) on the safety guard (A)
at the reference notches (C), and fasten with
the screws (D), then apply the string cutter
blade (L) with the cutting edge facing towards
the outside of the shield, and fasten it with the
screw (E) (Make sure the screws are tightened
all the way (E) and are not loosened by the
vibrations. If necessary, tighten them again).
CAUTION! The muffler gets very hot
during use and remains hot for some
time after switching off the engine.
This also applies at idle speed. Take
every precaution to reduce the fire
hazard, especially in the presence of
inflammable materials or gas.
CAUTION! If you are using the grass
cutting blade, remove the extension
(B) on the guard (A).
CAUTION! Use grass blades or nylon
string heads with the MAXIMUM
ROTATION SPEED (stenciled on
them by the manufacturer) of at least
-1
10.500 min .
CAUTION! Any operations involving
the cutting devices and their guards
should be done with the engine off.
CAUTION! If you turn the machine
over to facilitate assembly of the
cutting tools, make sure the cap on
the fuel tank is securely fastened and
there are no leaks of fuel.
