FUEL
WARNING
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or
bringing any flame or sparks near fuel.
• Wipe up all spills before starting the engine.
• Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool
before refueling the unit.
• Keep open flames away
from the area where fuel is
handled or stored.
IMPORTANT
• Never use oil for 4 cycle engine use or water cooled
2-cycle engine.
• Never use "FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE)".
• Never use fuel laced with water.
• 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
remained fuel into an air-tight container and keep it in
the dark and cool room.
• Please ask for "mixed gasoline for air-cooled 2-cycle
engines" at your nearest gas station, or use fuel made
by putting unleaded gasoline for automobiles and
air-cooled 2-cycle engine oil into a mixing container in
accordance with the following ratios and then shaking
to mix well.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
1.
Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to
be mixed.
2.
Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved
fuel container.
3.
Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4.
Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for
at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult
to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient
agitation is necessary for the engine to last long.
Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient,
there is an increased danger of early piston
seizing due to abnormally lean mixture.
5.
Put a clear indication on the outside of the
container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or
other containers.
6.
Indicate the contents on outside of container for
easy identification.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO:
GASOLINE 40 : OIL 1
■ FUELING THE UNIT
1.
Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on
a dustless place.
2.
Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full
capacity.
3
Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1.
Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
3.
Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At
that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the
mixed gasoline in the container.
4. In the case of storing the product for a long
period of time, clean the fuel tank after
rendering it empty. Next, activate the engine
and empty the carburetor of the composite fuel.
CHAIN OIL
■
Use motor oil SAE #10W-30 all year round or SAE #30
~ #40 in summer and SAE #20 in winter.
NOTE
Do not use wasted or regenerated oil that can cause
damage to the oil pump.
