IMPORTANT The fuel mixture tends to age. Do not prepare excessive amounts of the fuel mixture
to avoid the formation of deposits.
IMPORTANT Keep the petrol and fuel mixture containers separate and easily identifiable to avoid
the mistake of using one in place of the other.
IMPORTANT Periodically clean the petrol and fuel mixture containers to remove any eventual
deposits.
2.3 REFUELING
Never smoke whilst refuelling and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
Carefully open the tank top as pressure could have formed inside.
Before refuelling:
– Place the machine on a flat stable surface, with the fuel tank
cap facing upwards.
– Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding area to avoid any
dirt from entering the tank during refilling.
– Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the pressure inside to
decrease gradually.
To fuel:
– Shake the can with the fuel mixture well.
– Using a filtered funnel, pour an amount of fuel mixture suited
to the work to be performed.
– Refuel without filling the tank to the rim (Fig. 3).
Always close the fuel tank cap firmly. Immediately clean all traces of
fuel which may have dripped on the machine or the ground and do
not start the engine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.
3. USING THE MACHINE
3.1 STARTING THE MACHINE
The engine must be started in an area at least 3 metres from where you refilled the fuel tank.
Before starting the engine, place the machine on stable ground and make sure blowing or
vacuum tubes are not crushed.
3.1.1 Cold starting (Fig. 4)
A “cold” start of the engine means starting it after at least 5 minutes from when it was switched
off or after refuelling.
1. Set the switch (1) to position «I».
2. Operate the choke, moving lever (2) to <CHOKE>
3. Press the primer device button (3) 7 to 10 times to prime the carburettor.
4. Hold the machine firmly with one hand on the handgrip (6), in order not to lose control of the
machine during starting.
5. Pull the starter rope slowly for 10 - 15 cm until you feel some resistance, then tug it hard a few
times until you hear the engine turn over.
