PREPARING THE FUEL
This machine is tted with a two-stroke engine which
requires a mixture of petrol and lubricating oil.
IMPORTANT: Using petrol alone will damage the motor
and will cause for invalidation of the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Only use quality fuels and oils to maintain
high performance and guarantee the duration of the
mechanical parts over time.
• Petrol characteristics
Only use unleaded petrol with a fuel grade of at least
90 N.O.
IMPORTANT: Unleaded petrol tends to create deposits
in the container if preserved for more than 2 months.
Always use fresh petrol.
• Oil characteristics
Only use top quality synthetic oil specically for two-
stroke engines.
Your dealer can provide you with oils which have been
specically developed for this type of engine, and which
are capable of guaranteeing a high level of protection.
The use of these oils makes it possible to prepare a 2,5%
mixture, consisting in 1 part oil to 40 parts petrol.
• Preparation and preservation of the fuel mixture
DANGER! Petrol and the fuel mixture are highly
inammable!
- Keep the petrol and fuelmixture in homologated
fuel containers, in safe place, away from any
ames or heat sources.
- Never leave the containers within the reach of
children.
- Never smoke whilst preparing the mixture and
avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
The chart indicates the amount of petrol and oil to use to
prepare the fuel mixture according to the type of oil used.

2 0,050 50
3 0,075 75
5 0,125 125
10 0,250 250
To prepare the fuel mixture:
- Place about half the amount of petrol in a homol
gated tank.
- Add all the oil, according to the chart.
- Add the rest of the petrol.
- Close the top and shake well.
IMPORTANT: The fuel mixture tends to age. Do not
prepare excessive amounts of the fuel mixture to avoid
deposits from forming.
IMPORTANT: Keep the petrol and fuel mixture contain-
ers separate and easily identiable to avoid the mistake
of using one in place of the other.
IMPORTANT: Periodically clean the petrol and fuel mix-
ture containers to remove any eventual deposits.
REFUELLING
DANGER! Never smoke whilst refuelling and
avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
WARNING! Carefully open the tank top as pres-
sure could have formed inside.
Before refuelling:
- Shake the fuel mixture container well.
- Place the machine on a at stable surface, with the
fuel tank cap facing upwards.
- Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding area to
avoid any dirt fromentering the tank during relling.
- Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the pressure
inside to decrease gradually. Use a funnel to rell and
avoid lling the tank to the brim.
WARNING! Always close the fuel tank cap rmly.
WARNING! Immediately clean all traces of fuel
which may have dripped on the machine or the
ground and do not start the engine until the petrol
fumes have dissipated.
