2-STROKE ENGINE
(KAWASAKI:TJ Series , MITSUBISHI:TLE Series)
This product is fitted with a 2-stroke engine and
therefore requires a 2-stroke fuel and oil mix. Use a high
quality 2-stroke engine oil using 2% (50:1) oil. In order to
obtain a good fuel mix, put the oil into the container
before the petrol.
Petrol
This engine can use leaded (4 star) or unleaded petrol with
a minimum octane rating of 90. When using unleaded
petrol mix it with 2% (50:1) of high quality synthetic oil
specifically made for 2-stroke engines.
IMPORTANT:
Always shake this fuel mix vigorously
each time you use it.
Fuel mix properties deteriorate with time. We therefore,
recommend that you only make the quantity of fuel mix
you will need for each usage. Do no use fuel mix more
than a week old, as this could damage the engine.
WARNING:
Do not smoke when re-fuelling.
Always open the fuel cap slowly.
Re-fuel in open spaces only, keeping away from naked
flames or sparks.
Always store fuel in an approved container.
Safety storage of fuel
Petrol is highly inflammable. Put out all cigarettes, pipes
and cigars before working with petrol. Avoid spilling
petrol. Store fuel in a cool well ventilated place, in an
approved container specifically designed for the purpose.
Never store engine with fuel in the tank in enclosed,
poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light such as in a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer, etc. Petrol fumes can cause an
explosion or a fire. Do not store large amounts of fuel.
