BEFORE OPERATION
When operating this machine, please follow the instructions for operations steps.
1. Filling with fuel
DANGER OF INJURY!
FUEL IS EXPLOSIVE! Indicates danger, warning or caution. May be used in conjunction
with other symbols or pictographs.
RISK OF DEVICE DAMAGE!
The device is supplied without motor or gearbox oil. Before operating you must fill it
with fuel.
Never use oil for 4-cycle engine use or water-cooled 2-cycle engines. It can cause spark plug foul-
ing, exhaust port blocking or piston ring sticking. Mixed fuels, which have been left unused for a
period of one month or more may clog the carburetor or result in the engine failing to operate
properly. Put unused fuel into an airtight container and keep it in the dark and cool room.
Mix a regular grade gasoline (leaded or unleaded, alcohol-free) and a quality-proven motor
oil for air-cooled 2 cycle engines.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50: OIL 1
WARNING! Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or
hot engine.
WARNING! Never smoke while refueling and avoid inhaling petrol fumes.
WARNING! Be careful when opening the fuel tank as pressure may have formed inside.
Before refueling:
• Shake the fuel mixture container well.
• Place the unit on a flat stable surface, with the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
• Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding area to avoid any dirt
from entering the tank during refilling.
• Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow any pressure inside to
decrease gradually.
• Unscrew the mixture container cap.
• Use a funnel to refill and avoid over-filling the tank.
• Pour the fuel carefully to avoid spilling.
• Screw the tank cap on firmly by hand.
Draining fuel
• Hold a collection container beneath the fuel drain bolt.
• Unscrew the tank cap and remove it.
• Allow the fuel to run out completely.
• Screw the tank cap on firmly by hand.
WARNING! Always close the fuel tank cap firmly.
WARNING! Immediately clean all traces of fuel which may have dripped
on the machine or the ground and do not start the engine until the
petrol fumes have dissipated.
