Once these items have been checked and approved, you can prepare the area of operation (see
§ 9.3 Preparing the work site) and move the machine to the work site.
9.2 Adding fuel
When the machine is running low on fuel it must be refuelled. The use of fresh petrol is recom-
mended at all times.
Use unleaded petrol with an octane index of at least 85, but preferably 98 or 99. Use of any
other fuel is prohibited. (Please check the engine manual)
• Never refuel while the engine is running. Always allow the engine to cool down for several
minutes before refuelling.
• Use fresh fuel only.
• Given the limited shelf life of petrol, ELIET recommends purchasing small amounts.
• Store the fuel in an approved tank. Keep it out of reach of children.
• Store the petrol in a well-ventilated area, away from fire, sparks or heat sources.
• Never refuel at the location where the machine will be operated. Keep a distance of at least 10
m from the selected work area in view of fire hazard.
• Clean the area around the fuel cap (1) and remove it. Don’t fill the tank completely. Fill up to ap -
proximately 20 millimetres from the brim. So never fill it up to the brim.
• Always use a funnel or a spout for refuelling. Special funnels are available from your ELIET
dealer.
• Put the cap back on the fuel tank as quickly as possible.
• Also ensure that clothing does not come in contact with the petrol. If this happens, it must be
changed immediately.
• It is strictly prohibited to refill the tank around people who are smoking or near open fire.
• If fuel is swallowed or comes in contact with the eyes, consult a doctor immediately.
Warning:
Under certain conditions, petrol is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Fire breakouts and petrol explosions can inflict severe burns and cause damage
to personal property.
