11. Commissioning - refuelling, 2-stroke engine oil
The device is not delivered filled with fuel mixture.
Fill the device as described in this chapter under "Refuelling".
The device is operated with a 40:1 mixture of normal petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke engine
oil.
When handling petrol, increased attention is required. Avoid smoking and naked
flames at all costs because of the danger of explosion.
Gasoline:
Octane number at least 91 RON, lead free
•Do not fill with leaded petrol, diesel or other non-approved fuels.
•Do not use petrol with an octane number lower than 91 RON. This can lead to engine damage
due to increased engine temperatures.
•If you work continuously in the higher speed range, use petrol with a higher octane rating.
•For environmental reasons, the use of unleaded petrol is recommended. The use of E10 fuels
is not permitted.
2-stroke engine oil
Do not use four-stroke or two-stroke oils for water-cooled outboard engines, or ready-mixed
fuel from petrol stations.
Mixing ratio 40:1
•Ensure that the oil quantity is measured exactly, as a small deviation in the oil quantity has a
strong effect on the mixing ratio for small quantities.
•Do not change the mixing ratio, as this will result in increased combustion residues, increased
fuel consumption and reduced performance, or damage to the engine.
Mix the petrol and oil in a clean, petrol approved and marked container with overfill protection.
1. First fill in half of the petrol to be mixed
2. Then fill in the entire quantity of oil.
3. Shake the mixture.

4. Fill in the rest of the fuel.
Fuels can only be stored for a limited time as they age. Superimposed fuels and fuel mixtures can
cause problems when starting. Therefore, only mix as much fuel as you use in one month.
Store fuels in dry and safe conditions in approved and marked containers.
Ensure that the fuel tanks are kept out of the reach of children.

13. Working notes
Perform the following checks regularly before commissioning and during operation:
•Always hold the device with both hands on the front and rear handle.
•Is the device complete and correctly installed?
•Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tightened.
•Is the device in good and safe condition?
•Are all safety functions in order?
•Is the gas tank full?
•Are the engine and muffler free of deposits, leaves or lubricants?
•Is the handle clean and dry (no oil, grease or resin)?
•Is the workplace free of obstacles that you could trip over?
•Are you wearing the necessary protective device?
•Have you read and understood the manual?
•Are throttle levers smooth and throttle lock levers functional?
•Is the ON/OFF switch functional?
•Make sure that the gear device has sufficient lubrication (see "Maintenance").
•IMPORTANT: To avoid burning the leaf bag with the exhaust pipe, make sure to turn the whole
body when turning in the suction position and not only with your hands. Twisting the hip will
cause the heat of the exhaust to point towards the leaf bag, creating the risk of a burn hole.
•Ensure that there are no foreign objects such as stones in the working area which could be
blown away or sucked up. This can cause serious injury to persons due to flying parts or
damage to the device when vacuuming.
