FILLING THE FUEL TANK
The cleaner will be delivered with empty fuel tank, fill the tank with the right
fuel before the first use. Avoid mess of fuel, certainly on warm machine parts.
Respect the fill capacity of the fuel tank. Fill the tank with gasoline/petrol. Use
clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI or higher -
RON: min. 90. Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) - 90% lead-free is
acceptable.
Pay attention: fuel can become stale when stored over 30
days, water can occur in the fuel tank and corrode engine
components (e.g. carburetor)! Do not mix oil in gasoline or
modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.Don't use unsuitable
fuel! See technical data for tank volume and fuel type.
You can prolong the lifespan of fuel in storage (in case of long storage) by
adding a petrol stabiliser specially formulated for it, or you can avoid fuel quality
problems by draining the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor (via a petrol
collection tray & funnel). When adding a stabiliser, fill the fuel tank with new
petrol. If you only partially fill the tank, the air in the tank will accelerate the fuel
degradation during the storage period. If you use a fuel tank to refill, make sure
it always contains only new petrol. Procedure:
1. Add petrol stabiliser according to the manufacturer's instructions
2. After adding a stabiliser, run the engine outdoors for ten minutes so that all
the untreated petrol has been replaced by treated petrol
3. Switch off the engine
Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before
removing the fuel cap to refill! Keep fuel away from sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources ->
fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive! If
fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
