OPERATION
WARNING:
Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded petrol. Before operation, petrol must
be mixed with a good quality 2--cycle air--
cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a
ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing
5 liters of unleaded petrol with 125 ml of oil.
DO NOT USE automotive oil or marine oil.
These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil
container. Once oil is added to petrol, shake
container momentarily to assure that the fuel
is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow
the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling
your unit.
MIXING RATIO
Petrol -- Litre Two--Stroke Oil -- ml
40:1 (2.5%)
2 50
5 125
10 250
CAUTION:
Never use straight petrol in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine dam-
age.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use good quality unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (more than 10% al-
cohol) can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.
WARNING:
Incorrect use of fuel and/
or lubricants will cause problems such as:
overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubr-
ication deficiency, deterioration of fuel
lines, gaskets and internal carburetor com-
ponents, etc. Alcohol blended fuels will
cause a high absorption of moisture in the
fuel/oil mixture, causing the separation of
oil and fuel.
