NOTICE
This machine is not supplied with fuel in the engine!
Before operating this machine it is essential to fill in
fuel!
Fuel and fueling
Fuel
WARNING
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing
any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool down before refueling the
machine. Select well-ventilated outdoor bare ground for
fueling and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the
fuming point before starting the engine.
NOTICE
The brush cutter & grass trimmer is equipped with a
two-stroke engine, and it is certified to operate on
regular unleaded gasoline and two-stroke air cooled
engine oil at a recommended mix ratio of 40:1. It is
important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be
mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained.
When mixing small amount of fuel, even small
inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the
mixture.
40:1
Gasoline: Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol.
Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline
containing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved.
•
Poor quality gasoline or oil may damage sealing rings,
fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
•
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health
and the environment.
•
Regular gasoline is recommended is for mixture fuel.
If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than
regular, knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high
engine temperature, which can result in serious
engine damage.
•
If you use a gasoline of a Iower octane value than
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine
temperature may rise and an engine problem such as
piston seizing may consequently occur.
•
When working with continuous high speed (e.g.
delimbing), a higher octane grade is recommended.
•
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental
engine parameters and components (for example,
carburetion, ignition timing and port timing) without
addition of any major hardware or the introduction of
an inert material during combustion.
•
Take care when handling gasoline. Avoid direct
contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapor
Two-stroke oil: A two-stroke air-cooled engine oil
meeting ISO EGC GRADE or JASO FC GRADE OIL
standards must be used. Do not use BIA or TCW (2
stroke water cooling type) mixed oil.
•
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled
outboard motors, so-called, outboard oil.
•
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
Mixing
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put half of the gasoline into a clean container
approved for fuel use.
3. Pour in entire amount of oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the remaining amount of gasoline and
agitate again for at least one minute. As some oil
may be difficult to agitate depending on oil
ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the
engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is
insufficient, there is an increase danger of early
piston seizing due to abnormal lean mixture.

|-16-
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the
container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other
containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for
easy identification.
NOTICE
Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.
If your machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Fueling
WARNING
•
Do not smoke or place warm objects in the vicinity of
the fuel.
•
Select bare ground for fueling.
•
Always shut off the engine and allow it cool down
before refueling the machine.
•
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling
point before starting the engine.
1. Place the machine on a stable and level surface.
We recommend laying an inflammable sheet under
the machine.
2. Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area
around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.
3. Loose a bit of the fuel cap carefully so as to allow
any pressure build-up in the fuel tank to release
slowly. Never remove the fuel cap when engine is
running!
4. Use proper a funnel with filter to put mixed fuel into
the fuel tank. Do not overfill. Leave approximately
5mm of space to the lower edge for fuel expansion.
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container before fuelling. Take care not to spill fuel
while fueling and do not overfill the tank.
5. Tighten the fuel cap securely after fuelling.
6. Wipe up any fuel spillage around the fuel cap and
fuel tank.
NOTICE
Experience indicates that 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, empty the fuel system before storage for 30
days or longer Drain 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, otherwise
permanent damage may occur.
•
If fuel without mixing of oil (raw gasoline), it will cause
severe damage to the internal engine parts very
quickly.
•
Do not use gasohol, otherwise it can cause
deterioration of rubber and/or plastic parts and
disruption of engine lubrication.
•
Do not use 4-cycle engine oil, otherwise it can cause
spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston
ring sticking.
•
Mixed fuels which have been Ieft unused for a period
of one month or more may clog the carburetor and
result in the engine failing to operate properly.
•
In the case of storing the product for a long period of
time, clean the fuel lank after rendering it empty. Next,
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the
composite fuel.
