FUEL HANDLING

WARNING! Take care when
handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire,
explosion and inhaling fumes.

Fuel safety

Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage
and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt 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.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly
for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

• Allow the hedge trimmer to cool down after use
before putting it away for 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.
• When storing the machine for long periods the
fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a
complete service is carried out before long-term
storage.
• The transport guard must always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is being
transported or in storage.
• Secure the machine during transport.

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-
stroke engine and must always been run using a
mixture of petrol and two-stroke 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! 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.
Fuel
CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at
least 90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped
with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical
data) always use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil
mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the catalytic
converter.
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate
petrol, if it is available.
• The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If
you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90
socalled knocking can occur. This gives rise to a
high engine temperature, which can result in serious
engine damage.
• When working at continuous high revs a higher
octane rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-
cooled engines.
• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
• A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio
may jeopardise function and decrease the life time
of catalytic converters.
