Handling fuel
1. The engine of the product is designed to run on a mixed fuel, which contains highly flammable gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of the unit
in places where there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any other source of heat or flame which might ignite the fuel.
2. Never smoke while operating the unit or when refilling its fuel tank.
3. When refilling the tank, always turn off the engine and allow it to cool down. Take a careful look around to make sure that there are no sparks or open flames
anywhere nearby before refueling.
4. If fuel spills during refuelling, wipe up completely with a dry cloth.
5. After refueling, screw the fuel cap tightly back onto the fuel tank and move the unit at least 3 m away from the refueling area before starting the engine.
6. Fuel vapours are toxic and must not be inhaled.
Transportation
1. When carrying the product by hand, cover the cutting attachments if necessary, lift up the product and carry it paying attention to the blade.
2. Never transport the product over rough roads or over long distances by vehicle without removing all fuel from the fuel tank. Doing so may cause fuel to leak
from the tank during transport.
FUEL
WARNING! Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool
before refueling the unit. Choose a clean, open area for refueling and move at least 3 m away from the refueling point before starting the engine.
Gasoline/Oil Mixture storage recommendations
Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool dry area in a tightly sealed approved container to limit the entry of moisture and additional air
(oxygen). Moisture and air cause varnish and resin to form, making the fuel stale. Stored gasoline and gasoline/oil mixtures will age and lose their
octane rating and volatility. Do not mix more gasoline & oil than you intend to use in 30 days.
Mixing of fuel
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO: 30 ml of Oil to 1 lt of Gasoline
Mix a regular gasoline (leaded or unleaded, alcohol-free) and a quality-proven motor oil for air cooled 2 cycle engines.
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 for 10 seconds.
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. Be aware that if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizure due to abnormally lean mixture.
5. Place a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers that do not contain oil. Mark the contents on
the outside of the container for easy identification.
Fueling the unit
1. Unscrew and remove the fuel cap. Place the cap on a clean surface.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe clean any fuel spillage around the unit.
WARNINGS!
1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 3 meters away from the fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. Make sure that the mixed fuel in the tank is sufficiently agitated.
AVOID:
1. Fuel with no oil (raw gasoline) – It will cause severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
2. Gasohol – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic parts and disruption of the engine's lubrication.
3. Oil for 4-cycle engine use – It can cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring seizure.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in the engine failing to operate
properly.
• In the case of storing the product for a long period of time, clean the fuel tank after emptying it. Then, start the engine and run the carburetor
to dry all residual fuel.
• Dispose of the used mixed oil container at an authorised collection point.
