6.3. FUEL AND OIL
IMPORTANT: The fuel used for this machine
is highly flammable. If the fuel or the
machine ignites, put out the fire with a dry
powder extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Do not
smoke and keep flames, sparks or heat
away from the machine.
Use unleaded gasoline 95 octane.
Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than
2 months. A fuel stored for too long will cause the
starting of the machine to be more difficult and result
in unsatisfactory engine performance. If the fuel
has been in the machine's tank for longer than two
months, empty the tank and replace it with fuel in
perfect condition.
6.3.1. FILLING THE FUEL TANK
- Choose a suitable area to perform this operation.
- Remove the fuel tank cap and fill with fuel.
- Tightly close the fuel tank's cap and remove all the
fuel that spilled with a dry cloth.
WARNING:
Stop the engine before refueling.
Do not start the machine in an enclosed room or
space. The exhaust gases and fumes from the
fuel and oil contain carbon monoxide and harmful
chemicals.
In case of a concentration of gases produced by
poor ventilation, remove area all that impedes the
flow of clean air from the work area to improve
ventilation. Do not return to work in the area unless
you have properly ventilated area and are certain that
ventilation is sufficient so that does not happen in this
concentration again.
Do not refuel fuel in locations where there is the
presence of open flames, sparks or heat sources. Fill
the tank always in well-ventilated areas and with the
motor stopped. Not overflow the fuel to overfill the
fuel tank. In the event of a fuel leak be sure to remove
these leaks completely before starting, move the
machine away from the area of spillage and avoid any
source of ignition until all vapors are gone.
Separate yourself at least 3 meters from the refueling
area before starting the machine.
Add fuel before starting the machine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank while the engine is running or
when the machine is hot.
Do not use fuels such as ethanol or methanol. These
fuels will damage the engine of the machine.
6.3.2. ENGINE OIL
For transportation reasons, your machine's engine
comes from the factory without any oil in it. Before
starting the engine for the first time you must put oil
the engine.
This engine uses quality oil for
4-stroke, 20w-40 viscosity. The
capacity of the crankcase is 0,6 l.
20W-40 0,6l
Filling the oil sump:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
