PREPARING THE FUEL
This machine is fitted 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 specifically for
two-stroke engines.
Your dealer can provide you with oils which have
been specifically 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 pre-
pare a 2% mixture, consisting in 1 part oil to 50
parts petrol.
