Fuel recommendations
Use car petrol (unleaded or low-lead to minimise pollutants in the exhaust gas) with at least 87
octane. Petrol with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) can be used. Never
use an oil/petrol mixture or contaminated petrol. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water into the fuel tank.
Do NOT use E85 fuel.
⚫
Always refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine switched off. Smoking, naked flames or
sparks are not permitted in the vicinity where the engine is being refuelled or the petrol is
being stored.
⚫
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure that the fuel filler cap is properly
closed.
⚫
Refuel carefully so as not to spill any petrol. Spilt petrol or petrol vapour can ignite. If petrol
has been spilled, make sure that the area is dry again before starting the engine.
⚫
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with the skin or inhalation of petrol vapours.
Refuelling
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when handling petrol. Petrol is highly flammable and the
vapours are explosive. Never refuel the machine indoors or when the engine is still hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
WARNING! Always keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Do not use pressurised starting fluid. Vapours are flammable.
•
Clean the filler neck before removing the filler cap.
•
There is a tank detection system in the fuel tank. Refuel until the petrol reaches the red stop
plate inside the filter. Be careful not to overfuel.
Check oil level
ATTENTION: The engine is supplied without oil. You must fill it with sufficient oil and check
the oil level before operating the snow blower. If you operate the engine with too little oil, this can
lead to engine damage and loss of warranty.
NOTE: Check the motor on level ground with
the motor switched off.
•
Remove the oil level cap/dipstick and
wipe the dipstick clean.
