6. Fuel and Lubrication
We recommend that you use a premixed blend of environmentally friendly 2-stroke engine petrol and 2 % oil.
Caution!
Petrol is highly flammable. Avoid smoking close to where fuel is handled, do not cause any sparks,
embers or naked flames either. Switch off the brush cutter/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 50:1 (2 %).
• 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.
• Poor quality fuel or oil can damage seals, fuel pipes or the fuel tank.
6.1 Mixing the fuel
N.B
. 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 fuel can.
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. Certain oils do not mix well;
therefore it is important that the fuel can be agitated to mix the oil and petrol. 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.
6. 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.
N.B.
Do not mix too much fuel; it should be used within one month.
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.
6.2 Filling the fuel tank
1. Unscrew and remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill with fuel until the tank is roughly 80% full.
3. Replace and tighten the fuel cap and wipe up any spilt fuel on or around the grass trimmer.
Caution!
• Refuel outdoors and on the ground.
• Always move at least 3 metres away from the refuelling site before starting the trimmer.
• Switch off the grass trimmer and let it cool before refuelling it. Only refuel when you are sure that the fuel
can contains 2-stroke fuel!
5.7 Assembling the shaft
Unscrew the locking knob (26), hold in the release
catch (27) and push the bottom half of the shaft into
the top half of the shaft. Twist the two halves until
the catch locks and then tighten the locking knob.
