Webb WEBC26 - Fueling and Fuel Mixture

FUEL & OIL MIXTURE
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 2 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with the engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 3 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
Use good quality unleaded fuel which contains NO ETHANOL or METHANOL. Use Branded 89 octane or higher
unleaded fuel, known to be of good quality.
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essen
al carburetor components. This could result in star ng issues which would not be covered by your
manufacturer’s warranty.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use Handy Parts – Sure Start Garden Machinery Fuel Addi
ve which is
available in 250ml bo les, for 25 litres of fuel.
Helps makes machines easier to start
Extends shelf life of petrol up to 2 years
Keeps carburetor & engine clean
Reduces emissions & increases fuel economy
Only use 2-stroke air cooled engine oil. DO NOT USE automo ve or marine oil.
It is recommended that you use a Fuel Mixing Bo le, to ensure the correct fuel mixture is used with your
machine. We recommend Handy Parts item HP-120. The fuel mixture should be shaken prior to entering the
machine fuel tank.
Mix only the quan ty you require to complete your specific task.
Unscrew the machine fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank with your fuel mixture to a maximum of 80%
capacity. This will allow for fuel tank expansion.
Fasten the fuel cap tly, being careful not to cross-thread. This will also prevent loosening through vibra on
during use.
Wipe away any spillage, with an appropriate material.
If the machine has con nued leaks, the product should not be started. Never use the machine with damaged
igni
n cable or spark plug cap, as there is a risk of sparks.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that any stored petrol/oil mixture is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum
of 4-6 weeks.
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the mixture from the fuel tank, start the engine
and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel. (See Maintenance for further instru
on)
Dispose of any unwanted 2-stroke mixture at an authorised recycling point.

CUTTING WITH THE METAL BLADE
 Always keep a firm grip with both hands during operaon
 The machine should be held at a comfortable posion, with the trigger handle at hip height. Adjust the
harness to suit.
 Maintain a firm foong in case the machine hits a solid object & kicks back.
 Do not use the metal blade near fencing, posts, buildings or other immoveable objects – use the nylon
head.
 Best results are obtained if you cut from right to le, in a broad sweeping moon.
 If a har
d object is struck, immediately stop the machine and inspect for damage.
WARNING
DO NOT use the put the metal blade into contact with Ulity Wires, Metal Stakes, Rubber, Masonry, Rocks,
Fences, and Trees.
DANGER
DO NOT cut with a dull, cracked or damaged metal blade.
Before cung, inspect for obstrucons. If an obstrucon cannot be removed, mark its locaon clearly so you
can avoid it during operaon.
Rocks & metal can dull or damage a blade. Wires can wrap around the blade head or be thrown in the
air.
SCYTHING WEEDS
This is cung by swinging the blade in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds. Scything
should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
Scything can be done in both direcons, or just in one way which results in the debris being thrown away from
you. This is done by using the side of the blade that it is rotang away from you. Tilt the blade downwards
slightly, on this same side .You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in bot
h direcons
NOTE: THE METAL BLADE IS REVERSIBLE. DO NOT SHARPEN THE METAL BLADE, AN UNEVEN BLADE WILL
CAUSE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION.
