Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inflammable 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.
8.20.4 Petrol
Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least 95 octane (RON).
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is available.
The lowest octane recommended is 95 (RON). If you run the engine on a lower octane grade
than 95 so- called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can
result in serious engine damage.
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended.
8.20.5 Two-stroke oil
For best results and performance use two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for
our air-cooled two-stroke engines.
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines, sometimes referred to as outboard
oil (rated TCW).
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardize function and decrease the life time
of catalytic converters.
8.20.6 Mixing
 Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
 Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount
of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.
 Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank.
 Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
 If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
8.20.7 Fuelling
Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
 Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
 Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
 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.
 Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
 Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.
 Always use a fuel containe
r with an anti-spill valve.
 Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating
problems.
 Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.
