RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
PETROL 40 : OIL 1
•
Exhaust emission are controlled by the funda-
mental engine parameters and components (eq.,
carburation, ignition timing and port timing) with-
out addition of any major hardware or the intro-
duction of an inert material during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded
petrol.

FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a
dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
1. Select clear flat ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fuel-
ing point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time,
be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in
the container.

Petrol is very flammable. Avoid smoking or
bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make
sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before
refueling the unit. Use outdoor grounds for refu-
eling and move at least 3m (10 ft) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
The engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated
for air-cooled 2-stroke petrol engine use. If Kiam
2-stroke oil is not available, use a red semi-synthetic
2-stroke oil.
If you use petrol of a lower octane value than
described there is danger that the engine tempera-
ture may rise which may cause an engine pistone to
seize.
Unleaded petrol is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health
and the environment.
Poor quality petrol or oils may damage sealing rings,
fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
Measure out the quantities of petrol and oil to be
mixed.
Put some of the petrol into a clean, approved fuel
container.
Pour in all of the oil and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the rest of the petrol and mix thoroughly
again. As some oils may be more difficult to mix
depending on the oil ingredients, sufficient mixing
is necessary to help improve the engines life. Be
careful that if mixing is insufficient there is increased
danger of early piston seizing due to lack of lubrica-
tion.
Indicate the contents inside the container by placing
a clear indication on the outside of the container for
easy identification and to avoid mixing up with petrol
or any other containers.
FUEL WITH NO OIL (PURE PETROL) - It WILL
cause severe damage to the internal engine parts
immediately.
GASOHOL - It can cause deterioration of rubber
and/or plastic parts and disrupt engine lubrication.
OIL FOR 4-STROKE ENGINES - It can cause spark
plug fouling, exhaust blockages or piston ring
sticking.
Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a
period of one month or more may clog the carbure-
tor and result in the engine failing to operate prop-
erly.
In the case of storing the product for a long period of
time, clean the fuel tank after completely emptying
it. Start the engine to empty the carburetor of any
remaining fuel.
In the case of disposing of used mixing containers,
only scrap it at authorized sites.
As for details of quality assurance, read the description
section Limited Warranty carefully. Normal wear and
change in product with no fuctional influence are not
covered by the warranty. Also, be careful that if the
usage in the instruction manual is not followed (mixed
petrol, etc.) as described, it may not be covered by the
warranty.
CHAIN OIL
Use chainsaw chain oil.
