USING THE RIGHT PETROL

The use of old petrol is the most common cause of performance 
problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded petrol.

CAUTION!

 Only use 91 RON unleaded petrol 

 
The lowest octane recommended is 91 RON Unleaded petrol. 
If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 91 RON 
Unleaded fuel so-called knocking can occur. This gives rise to 
a high engine temperature, which can result in serious engine 
damage.

When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is 
recommended.

NOTE: Do not use E15 or E85 petrol (or petrol containing greater 
than 10% ethanol) in this product as it will damage the unit.

PETROL SAFETY

 - 

TRANSPORT AND 

STORAGE

• 

Store and transport the machine and petrol so that there is  

 

no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with  

 

sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical  

 

machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or  

 boilers.

• 

When storing and transporting petrol always use approved  

 

containers intended for this purpose.

• 

When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank  

 

must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find  

 

out where to dispose of excess petrol.

• 

Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service  

 

is carried out before long-term storage.

• 

The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting  

 

attachment when the machine is being transported or in  

 storage.

• 

Secure the machine during transport.

 

 WARNING!

 Petrol and petrol fumes are highly  

 

 flammable and can cause serious injury when inhaled  

 

or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this  

 

reason observe caution when handling petrol and make  

 

sure there is adequate ventilation.

 

 WARNING!

 Take care when handling petrol. Bear  

 

 in mind the risk of fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.

FUELLING

 

 WARNING!

 Always shut off engine before fuelling.  

 Never add petrol to a machine with a running or hot  

 engine.

• 

Move at least 10 metres from refuelling site before starting  

 engine.

• 

Do not smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks.  

 

Failure to safely handle petrol could result in serious  

 

personal injury.

• 

Never start the machine if you have spilt petrol on it. Wipe  

 

off the spillage and allow remaining petrol to evaporate.

• 

Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

• 

Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.

 

Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the  

 

tank can cause operating problems.

• 

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any  

 

excess pressure is released gently.

• 

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

• 

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area  

 

before starting. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and  

 

inhaling fumes.

FOLLOWING PROCEDURE

:

1.   Position the unit with the petrol cap facing up.
