Mixing
• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean
container intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling half the amount of the
petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil.
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining
amount of petrol.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before
filling the machine’s fuel tank.
• Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel
at a time.
• If the machine is not used for some time the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
• Fuel/Oil ratio is 40:1
WARNING! The catalytic
converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use. This also
applies during idling. Be
aware of the fire hazard,
especially when working near
flammable substances and/
or vapours.
Fueling
Never drain the fuel tank in a confined room.
This should be done outdoors.
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk
of fire:
Do not smoke or place hot
objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine
before refuelling.
Refuel in a well ventilated area.
Never fuel the machine indoors.
Always stop the engine and let it
cool for a few minutes before
refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel
cap slowly so that any excess
pressure is released
gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully
after refuelling.
Always move the machine away
from the refuelling area and
source before starting.
• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill
valve.
• Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Contamination in the tank can cause operating
problems.
• Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container before filling the tank.
