authorized service dealer.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded petrol. Before operation, petrol must
be mixed with a good quality 2--cycle air--
cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a
ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing
5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil.
DO NOT USE automotive oil or marine oil.
These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil
container. Once oil is added to petrol, shake
container momentarily to assure that the fuel
is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow
the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling
your unit.
CAUTION:
Never use straight petrol in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine dam-
age.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use good quality unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (more than 10% al-
cohol) can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.
WARNING:
Incorrect use of fuel and/
or lubricants will cause problems such as:
improper clutch engagements, overheat-
ing, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication defi-
ciency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets
and internal carburetor components, etc.
Alcohol blended fuels will cause a high ab-
sorption of moisture in the fuel/oil mixture,
causing the separation of oil and fuel.
