CAUTION! Turn off the device, allow
it to cool and unplug the spark
plug before refuelling with fuel and
engine oil.
The machine is equipped with a 4-stroke engine.
Use only regular or premium grade petrol with 93
octane or higher.
Before starting the scythe, fill the engine with
4-stroke engine oil 15W40.
Caution:
Do not use fuel that is older than 2-3
months.
In case of longer breaks from work, empty the
tank and refill before starting work.
Fill in petrol
- Slowly unscrew the lid of the tank (7) so that
pressure and petrol vapours can escape safely.
- It is best to fill the fuel with a funnel and tighten
the lid again.
Fill in engine oil and check oil level
- Place the appliance on a level ground.
- Turn off the oil tank cap with dipstick (8) and
add oil to the tank.
- To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a
clean cloth and put it back into the tank as far as
it will go.
- After pulling out, read off the oil level on the
dipstick. The oil level must be in the marked field
between the minimum and maximum marks.
- Wipe off any spilled oil and close the oil tank
cap again.
