OPERATION
• After continuous or repeated charging cycles without interruption, the charger may warm up.
This is normal and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charger.
The fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious
personal injury may result.
DANGER
Handling the Fuel
• Mix and store in a container approved for storing fuel.
• DO NOT smoke when handling or close to fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near the fuel.
• Maintain the pressure in the fuel tank; always loosen the fuel tank cap slowly allowing
the pressure to equalize. NEVER refuel a blower when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• DO NOT overfill the fuel tank and clean up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and close the fuel container after refueling.
• Check for fuel leakages. If a fuel leakage is present, remove the battery and do not use
the blower until the leakage is repaired.
• Move at least 3 m from refueling location before starting the engine.
Fuel Mixture
(See Fig. 15)
This blower is powered by a 2-cycle engine; the operator is required to use premixed petrol and
2-cycle lubricant. Prepare a mixture of unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a clean
container approved for storing petrol. Only prepare quantities that can be used up within a few
days. DO NOT prepare quantities that will need to be stored for more than 30 days.
Recommended Fuel
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol intended for automotive use.
NOTE:
We recommend you use a high-quality synthetic 2-cycle lubricant in this product. Do not
use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard lubricant.
NOTICE:
In synthetic lubricant, 2.5% of the lubricant is added to petrol, i.e. 2.5 liters per 100 liters
of petrol.
For semi synthetic lubricant, add 4% of the lubricant to petrol, i.e. 4 liters per 100 liters of petrol.
For mineral lubricant, add 5% of the lubricant to the petrol, i.e. 5 liters for every 100 liters of petrol.
