Refueling the brushcutter
When refueling the brushcutter, please note the following in-
formation at all times!
No smoking and no open fires!
Do not refuel in closed rooms!
Fuel vapors will accumulate on the ground (risk
of explosion)!
Fuels can contain solvent-like substances. Pre-
vent contact of the eyes and skin with mineral oil
products. Wear gloves when refueling. Change
and clean your protective clothing more frequent-
ly. Do not inhale fuel vapors. Inhaling fuel vapors
can cause physical damage to your health.
Before refueling the brushcutter, turn off and
allow the engine to cool down.
Operating materials/fuels
The handling of operating materials/fuels requires cautious,
careful action. Refuel the brushcutter only outdoors or in well-
ventilated rooms.
Mineral oil products, including oils, de-
grease the skin. In case of repeated, longer
contact, the skin will dry up. This can re-
sult in various skin diseases. Beyond that,
allergic reactions are well known.
Contact of the eyes with oil results in irritations.
In case of eye contact, wash the affected eye
immediately with clear water. If the irritation
does not subside, a physician must be consulted
immediately!
Gasoline
The engine of the brushcutter is designed to be run with regular
gasoline with a minimum octane number of 91 RON. If that type
of fuel is not available, fuel with a higher octane number can
also be filled into the tank without damaging the engine.
Engine oil
The engine is lubricated exclusively by the engine oil (multigrade
oil of the classification
SAE 10W-30)
. This is why you must check
the engine oil level at a clean location before beginning to work
with the brushcutter. During this inspection, it is important to make
sure that no dirt gets onto the dipstick or into the crankcase in
order to guarantee long service life of the engine.
If, despite all precautions, dirt does get into
crankcase, the engine oil must be changed before
the engine is started.
Refueling and filling up with engine oil
The tool you will require is a clean rag.
1 Clean the area around the tank cap (
1
) thoroughly, so that
no dirt can get into the fuel tank (not necessary upon first-
time operation of the brushcutter).
Lay down the brushcutter, so that it is resting on its foot in
stable position.
3 Unscrew the tank cap and fill gasoline carefully up to the
bottom edge of the filler neck.
However, if you do spill any fuel, clean the brush-
cutter immediately. If fuel gets onto your clothes,
change them immediately.
