Fuel and Lubrication
Caution! Petrol is highly flammable. Avoid smoking near any area where fuel will
be handled. Do not introduce open fires, embers or sparks into the area.
Switch off the grass trimmer and let it cool before refuelling it. Refuel outdoors
and always move at least 3 metres away from the refuelling site before starting
the trimmer.
Mix petrol (unleaded 95 octane without added ethanol) with a good quality 2-stroke oil
intended for air-cooled 2-stroke engines.
Recommended mixture: Petrol/oil 32:1 (3 %).
•
The engine is designed to be used with unleaded fuel.
•
Use at least an 87 octane rated fuel.
•
Use unleaded fuel to protect the environment and your health.
•
Bad quality fuel or oil can damage seals, fuel pipes or the fuel tank.
Mixing the fuel
Note:
Be precise with the mixture.
1. Measure out the petrol and oil precisely before mixing.
2. Pour a small amount of the petrol into a clean approved fuel container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate the fuel can.
4. Pour in the rest of the petrol and agitate the fuel can for at least a minute. Some
oils are difficult to mix. It is therefore important to agitate the container in order
for the oil and petrol to mix thoroughly. The engine will last longer if the fuel is well
mixed, if the fuel is not mixed properly the mixture will be too lean and the engine
may be damaged.
5. Label the fuel can clearly to avoid the risk of misidentification. Fuel containing
oil is only intended for 2-stroke engines. Pure petrol is for 4-stroke engines.
It is therefore very important to label fuel containers clearly.
Note:
Do not mix too much fuel; it should be used within 90 days.
Caution!
Only use fuel containing oil for 2-stroke engines, using pure petrol without the
addition of oil will inevitably cause engine damage which is not covered by the guarantee.
Fueling the trimmer
1. Let the trimmer cool before refuelling it.
2. Unscrew and remove the fuel cap.
3. Fill with fuel until the tank is roughly 80% full.
4. Replace and tighten the fuel cap and wipe up any spilt fuel on or around
the grass trimmer.
