Fuel and lubrication
Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded fuel mixed with
40:1custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results.
Mixing fuel
Mix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved container.
Shake gently and ensure thorough mix.
Warning:
Never use straight fuel in your unit.
This will cause permanent engine damage and
void the manufacturer’s warranty for that
product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been
stored for over 90 days.
Warning:
If 2-cycle lubricant is to be used, it
must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air
cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not
use any 2-cycle oil product with a
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If
insufficient lubrication is the cause of engine
damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine
warranty for that occurrence.
Recommended fuels
Some conventional fuels are being blended with
oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether
compound to meet clean air standards. Your
engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on
any fuel intended for automotive use including
oxygenated fuel. It is recommended to use
unleaded petrol as fuel.
Lubrication of chain and chain bar
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with petrol you
must also top up the level of chain oil in the
chain oil tank. It is recommended to use
standard chain oil.
Engine pre-start checks
Warning:
Never start or operate the saw
unless the bar and chain are properly installed.
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture
(Fig. 15).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with chain oil (Fig. 15).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C)
before starting unit (Fig. 15).
Once you have filled the chain and oil tank,
tighten the tank cover securely by hand. Do not
use any tools to do so.
