• Do not add fuel while engine is running. Always allow a few minutes for the engine to cool off
before topping up with fuel.
• Only use fresh petrol.
• Never add oil to fuel.
• Because of the short shelf life of fuel, it is good practice to buy fuel in small quantities.
• Store petrol in an approved container. Keep this container out of the reach of children.
• Store fuel in a well-ventilated area away from open flames, sparks and heat sources.
• Never top up fuel at a location where work is to be performed later. Always keep all persons at
least 10 m away from the work area. This is done to prevent any fires from
occurring.
• Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (1) and then remove this cap. Never
fill a tank to over 85% of the tank’s capacity. Top up with fuel until the level
is approximately 20 mm from the top of the tank. In short, do not fill the tank
completely to the tank filler opening.
• Always use a funnel or spout to pour the petrol into the tank. Suitable fun
-
nels can be obtained from your ELIET dealer.
• Refit the cap onto the tank as soon as possible.
• Be careful not to spill petrol onto clothing.
If petrol does come into contact with your clothing, change this clothing at once.
• It is unsafe and thus expressly forbidden to fill the fuel tank in the vicinity of smokers or naked flames.
• If fuel comes into contact with the eyes or is taken internally, obtain medical attention immediately.
9.3 Preparing the work area
• Clear the area first where the machine is to be used. In addition, the paths along which the
plant trimmings are removed, must be kept clear, thus releasing the operator from the worries of
tripping up over them. The operator must also ensure that his safety is not compromised.
• Make sure to locate the machine such that flying chippings expelled from the discharge output
do not cause damage to persons or properties.
• On slopes, never operate the machine (no forward, backward or lateral slope).
• Make sure to sort the material beforehand. In this way, the operator is sure that no foreign
objects will enter the machine with the material.
• Foreign objects are defined as: any non-organic object or branchy material in excess of the
stated capacity (such as metal, stone, plastic, pvc, cords,…). Some of these can cause serious
damage to your machine or can be ejected, virtually as projectiles towards the user.
• Aways position the machine so that the wind will blow the dust produced away from the engine.
9.4 Starting the Petrol Engine
Caution :
Never start the machine if the engine cooling fins are not clean and free of
debris to protect it form overheating.
