Fuel Tank

Underneath the tank, there is a fuel filter combined

with the fuel valve. Tank capacity is 1.72 gallons (6.5

liters)

Fueling

Read the safety instructions before fueling.

Keep the fuel and fuel tank clean. Avoid filling the

machine with dirty fuel. Make sure the fuel cap is

properly tightened and the gasket is not damaged,

particularly before washing the machine.
Use unleaded gasoline with minimum 86 octane rating.

Never use gasoline mixed with two-cycle oil. For

ethanol and methanol fuel, the following applies:

Maximum allowable ethanol 10% (volume).
Maximum allowable methanol 5% (volume).
Maximum allowable MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl

Ether) 15% (volume).

If the engine jerks at normal load it can be damaged.

Change the fuel. If this does not help, contact an

authorized service workshop.

Do not fill the tank completely; leave space for the fuel

to expand as it warms up.

Centrifugal Clutch

The engine is equipped with a centrifugal clutch that

is connected to the crankshaft. When the engine

speed increases, the drive for the cutting wheel

engages automatically. The centrifugal clutch is

maintenance-free; it is not possible for the user to

make adjustments.

WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable.

Observe caution and fill the tank

outdoors (see the safety instruction).
