Checking petrol level
Use unleaded petrol only (recommended 95 RON).
Do not use deteriorated or contaminated petrol or oil/petrol mix.
Do not allow water or impurities to get into the petrol tank.
1. Check the petrol level in the tank on the level gauge.
2. If the petrol level is too low, fill up to the required level. Remove the petrol filler cap
slowly to release the pressure. Otherwise, the petrol may spill.
The petrol quality may deteriorate under certain conditions: light exposure, temperature
and time.
In the worst case, the petrol may not be usable after just one month.
Use of deteriorated petrol may result in engine damage (clogged carburettor or nozzles).
Any damage due to deteriorated petrol is not covered by the warranty.
Observe the following guidelines:
• use recommended petrol only,
• store petrol in a special container,
• if the machine will not be used for over 1 month, drain the petrol from the carburettor and
from the petrol tank.
•
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive at certain conditions.
•
Fill up the tank in a well-ventilated place with the engine stopped. Do not smoke and
do not use open flame when filling or storing the petrol.
•
Do not overfill the petrol tank (petrol must not be present in the filler neck). After
filling, make sure the petrol filler cap is closed.
•
Take care not to spill any petrol. Spilled petrol or its vapours may ignite. Make sure
all the surfaces are dry before starting the engine.
•
Avoid contact with skin or inhalation of vapours.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
