Filling the Fuel Tank
WARNING.
Always shut off the engine before fuelling.
Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 3 m (10
ft) away from the re-fuelling site before starting engine. Do not smoke when re-
fuelling or operating the blower.
WARNING.
Do not use fuel that is more than 2-3 months old. Empty the tank
during longer breaks and fill it up again as soon you wish to use the blower
again.
Note.
It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine during and after
first use.
1. Place the blower upright on the ground or on a sturdy bench and wipe any debris
from around the fuel cap (14).
2. Unscrew the fuel cap (14) and pour the mixture into the
fuel tank (20) using a funnel (not supplied). (Fig S/T)
3. Be careful not to spill any mixture. If this happens,
wipe up the spill with a clean rag. Replace and securely
tighten the fuel cap (14).
4. Start the engine at least 3 metres away from the area where
the fuel tank (20) has been filled up in order to avoid any risk
of fire.
• Danger of fire and burn injuries.
• Always use extreme care when handling fuel! Fuel is highly
flammable.
• Never attempt to fuel the blower if the fuel system
components are damaged or are leaking.
• Never attempt to refuel the blower while the engine is
running or still warm, allow it to cool before fuelling.
• Never smoke or light any fires near the blower or fuels.
• Always transport and store fuels in an approved container.
• Never place flammable material close to the engine muffler.
• Do not use petrol which contains ethanol or methanol as it may
damage the fuel lines and other engine parts.
