Safe Handling With Fuels; Before The First Start-Up; Fuelling; Petrol - ATIKA HB 60-2 Notice Originale

Safe handling with fuels

Fuels and fuel vapours are inflammable and may
cause serious injury on the skin or when inhaled.
Therefore be careful and provide sufficient
ventilation when handling with fuels.
 Never remove the tank cap and fuel when the engine is
running or is still hot.
 Stop the engine and allow the device to cool down before
fuelling it.
 Do not smoke and avoid open flames when fuelling.
 Wear gloves when fuelling.
 Fuel only outdoors (risk of explosion).
 Avoid spilling of fuel or oil. Clean the hedge trimmer
immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil. Change your
clothes immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil on
them.
 Make sure that no fuel can come into the soil.
 Carefully close the tank cap after fuelling and check that it
does not get loose during operation.
 Check that there is no leakage on the tank cap and fuel
lines. If there are leaks this device may not be started.
 If fuel is spilled, do not try to start the engine. Instead remove
the device of the petrol polluted area before start.
 Always drain the tank only outdoors.
 Only transport and store fuels in containers approved and
identified for this.
 Keep children away from fuels.
 Do not handle and store fuels close to combustible and
highly inflammable materials as well as sparks and open
flames.
 Go away at least three metres from the fuelling place to start
the device.
 To reduce the fire risk keep the motor and silencer free from
cutting remainders, leaves and lubricants.

Before the first start-up


The hedge trimmer is supplied without fuel.
Fuel the hedge trimmer as described under "Fuelling".

Fuelling


This device is operated by a mixture from petrol (unleaded)
and two-stroke engine oil.
Utmost care is required when handling fuel and
oil. Keep away smoke and open flames (risk of
explosion).

Petrol

Petrol: Octane number at least 91 ROZ unleaded
 Do not fill in leaded petrol, diesel or other non-approved
fuels.
 Do not use petrol having a smaller octance number than 91
ROZ. This may lead to severe engine damages due to
increased engine temperatures.
20
 If you frequently operate the device at high speeds, you
should use petrol with a higher octane number.
 The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for environment
protection reasons.

Two-stroke engine oil:

acc. to JASO FC or ISO EGD specifications
Do not use
− four-stroke oil or two-stroke oil for water-cooled outboard
engines,
− mixtures ready for use from petrol stations.

Mixing

Ratio of mixture: 40:1
Petrol Two-stroke engine oil 2.5 % (40:1)
1 litres 25 ml
2 litres 50 ml
5 litres 125 ml
10 litres 250 ml
 Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small deviation of it
has a large effect on the ratio of mixture in particular for
small fuel quantities.
 Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead to more
residues of combustion, a higher fuel consumption, a
decrease of output or damages to the engine.
Mix petrol and oil in the supplied fuel mixing can (26).
1. At first fill in half the quantity of petrol to be mixed.
2. Then fill in the total amount of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Fill in the remaining quantity of petrol.
 Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to
ageing. Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result in
starting problems. Therefore, mix only that quantity of fuel
which you can use within a month.
 Only store fuels in containers approved and identified for
this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.
 Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach for
children.

Fuelling the hedge trimmer

• Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid eye and skin contact.
• Strictly follow the instructions under "Safe
handling with fuels".
1. Fuel only the hedge trimmer outdoors.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck. Contamination in the
tank may result in malfunction.
3.
Shake the container once more before pouring the fuel
mixture into the tank.

4. Carefully open the tank cap (8) to allow possible
overpressure to relax.
