This type of tool is designed to be used with unleaded gasoline. Using unleaded gasoline prevents
unnecessary pollution in the interests of your health and the protection of the environment. Using gasoline
or oil of lesser quality can damage seal rings, ducts or fuel tank.
Exhaust emissions are regulated by the basic technical characteristics of the engine and its components
(carburation, adjustment of spark plugs, control of exhaust opening and closing times) in the absence of
accessories or a catalyst during combustion.
Filling the tank

Unscrew the tank cap.
-
Fill the tank to 80% of its capacity.
