The brushcutter is powered by a high-performance two-stroke
engine. The engine runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke
engine oil.
The engine was designed for regular lead-free gasoline with an
octane number of at least 91 ROZ. If this is not available,
higher-octane gasoline may be used. This will not damage the
engine, but may impair engine performance.
A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel. To
obtain optimum engine operation and to protect your
health and the environment, only unleaded fuel should be
used! Gasoline which contens alcohol should not used in
DOLMAR products.
For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality
grade: API-TC), which is added to the fuel. The engine has
been designed for use of DOLMAR HP 100 high-performance
two-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only 100:1 to protect
the environment. In addition, a long service life and reliable
operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases are
ensured.
DOLMAR HP 100 high-performance two-stroke engine oil is
available in the following sizes:
0.5
l
part no. 980 008 109
DOLMAR high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available
in two different sizes:
1
l
part no. 980 008 107
100 ml
part no. 980 008 106
In case DOLMAR high-performance two-stroke engine oil is
not available, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio
of 40:1 with other two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimum
operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.
Preparation of the correct mixture ratio:
50:1
When using DOLMAR high-performance two-stroke oil,
i.e. 50 parts gasoline /1 part oil.
100:1 when using DOLMAR HP 100 high-performance two-
stroke engine oil, i. e. mix 100 parts gasoline with 1 part
oil.
40:1
When using other brands, i.e. 40 parts gasoline / 1 part
oil.
Note:
When preparing the fuel mixture, always first mix the entire oil
quantity with half of the gasoline, and then add the rest of the
gasoline. Shake the mixture well before putting in the fuel tank.
It is not wise to add more oil to the mixture than specified, even
if this may seem safer for the engine. More oil only leads to
increased combustion residues, which not only pollute the
environment, but are also bad for the cylinder exhaust
channel, muffler and the spark arrester screen. Furthermore
fuel consumption will increase and performance will fall.

AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT!
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain
substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated
room or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapours. Fuel vapours are
poisonous and can be hazardous to your health. Avoid eye and
skin contact with fuels and mineral oils. Mineral oil products
degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these
substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will
desiccate. Various skin deseases may result. In addition, aller-
gic reactions are known to occur. Eyes can be irritated by
contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash
them with clear water.
If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!

Storage of Fuel
3
)
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures age.
Therefore fuel and fuel mixtures, which have been stored for
too long, can cause starting problems. Purchase only that
amount of fuel, which will be consumed over the next few
months.
Store fuel safely in a dry place in approved containers
only.
Refuelling
STOP
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be switched off!
B
-
Thoroughly clean around the tank cap (B/1) so that no dirt
can enter the fuel tank.
-
Before refuelling the brushcutter make sure it is in a stabi-
le position.
-
Unscrew the tank cap (B/2) and carefully fill in the fuel
mixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Fill the tank
carefully, making sure not to spill any fuel.
-
Tightly screw on the plug.
Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling.
