OPERATION
WARNING
Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from gasoline will burn you and others.
MIXING THE FUEL
■
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and
requires premixing petrol and 2-stroke oil. Pre-mix
unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine oil in a clean
container approved for petrol.
■
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol
intended for automotive use with an octane rating of
87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.
■
Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/oil from fuel
service stations, this includes the pre-mixed petrol/oil
intended for use in mopeds, morotcycles, etc.
■
Use synthetic 2-stroke oil only. Do not use automotive
oil or 2-stroke outboard oil.
■
Mix 2% synthetic 2-stroke oil into the petrol. This is a
50:1 ratio.
■
Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before
fueling.
■
Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger
than usable in a 30 day period. Synthetic 2-stroke oil
containing a fuel stabilizer is recommended.
FILLING THE TANK
■
Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent
contamination.
■
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
■
Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid
spillage. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and
inspect the gasket.
■
Immediately replace the fuel cap and hand tighten.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9m away from
refueling site before starting engine.
NOTE:
It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a
new engine during first use.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add
fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.
Move at least 9 m from refueling site before
starting engine. Do not smoke!
