FUEL HANDLING
12 – English
General
Fueling
• Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness
Never start the machine:
•
If you have spilled fuel or engine oil on the machine,
wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
• If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
• If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Engine oil
• See instructions in the section "Maintenance".
• The engine oil should be changed the first time after 5
hours running time. Never use oil intended for two-
stroke engines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or open flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
Long-term storage
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local gas station
to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative to avoid
tacky deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to the
fuel in the tank or the storage container. Always follow
the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run the
engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the
stabilizer so that it will reach the carburetor. Do not
empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel
stabilizer.
!
WARNING! Running an engine in a
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fuel and fuel 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 fuel and make
sure there is adequate ventilation.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible material!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
!
WARNING! Always stop the engine and let
it cool for a few minutes before refueling.
The engine should be switched off.
Use a fuel can at all times to avoid
spillage.
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.
Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refueling. Negligence may lead to the
start of a fire.
CAUTION! Check the oil level before starting the lawn
mower. A too low oil level can cause serious damage to
the engine.
CAUTION! Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids during
storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before stor age of 30 days or
longer. Empty the gas tank, start the engine and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
