do not place any hot objects in the vicinity of
fuel. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few
minutes before refuelling. When refuelling, open the
fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released
gently.Tightenthefuelcapcarefullyafterrefuelling.
Always move the machine away from the refuelling
area before starting.
ASSEMBLY
FITTING THE BAR AND CHAIN
WARNING!Switchotheenginebeforecar-
rying out any checks or maintenance. The
stop switch automatically returns to the start
position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the
spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug
when assembling, checking and/or performing mainte-
nance.
Always wear gloves, when working with the chain, in
order to protect your hands from injury.
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
Remove the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover
(chainbrake).Takeothetransportationring.

FUEL
Note!Themachine isequippedwith atwo-strokeen-
gine and must always be run using a mixture of petrol
and twostroke oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the cor-
rect mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts
of fuel,evensmall inaccuracies can drasticallyaect
the ratio of the mixture.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.
Petrol
● Usegoodqualityunleadedorleadedpetrol.
● Thelowestrecommendedoctanegradeis92.
● Whenworkingwithcontinuoushighrevs(e.g.limb-
ing) a higher octane is recommended.
