Operating manual

Oil and petrol

Oil
Use quality oil only, API
classification TC (TSC-3) which
is offered for air-cooled two-stroke
engines.
Mix the oil for two-stroke engines
according to the instructions
on the container, 1:40 (2,5 %).
Petrol
Danger
!
Under certain conditions petrol
is extremely flammable and
explosive.
– Refuel only in a well ventilated
area and with the engine swit-
ched off. Do not smoke and
switch off all ignition sources
in the vicinity of the tank
or at the fuel storage depot.
– Do not overfill the fuel tank (there
must be no fuel in the inlet
nozzle). After filling up the tank,
ensure that the tank cap
is closed and secured.
– When filling up the tank,
do not spill any fuel.
Spilled fuel or petrol vapours may
ignite. If fuel has been spilled,
ensure that the area is dried
before the engine is restarted.
– Prevent repeated or prolonged
skin contact or inhalation
of the vapours.
Caution
Do not fill up with fuel of speci-
fication E85. If fuel of specification
E85 (ethanol content >15 %) is
used, the engine may be damaged.
The use of an unauthorised fuel will
void the warranty.
See instructions on mixing
oil and petrol
Old and/or incorrectly mixed fuel
are the main reasons for the unit
not running properly.
Always use clean, fresh unleaded
petrol (no more than 30 days old,
minimum octane number 91 ROZ).
Follow exactly the instructions
for the correct petrol/oil mixture.
Correctly mix two-stroke engine oil
and lead-free petrol, 1:40 (2,5 %).
Do not mix directly in the tank.
