General
WARNING! Running an engine in a
!
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flammable
and can cause serious injury when
inhaled or allowed to come in contact
with the skin. For this reason observe
caution when handling fuel and make
sure there is adequate ventilation.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible material!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
Fuel
NOTICE! The machine is equipped with a four-stroke
engine. Make sure that there is always sufficient oil in
the oil tank.
Petrol
• Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol.
• The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you
run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-
called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high
engine temperature, which can result in serious
engine damage.
• Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate
petrol, if it is available.
Engine oil
NOTICE! Check the oil level before starting the lawn
mower. A too low oil level can cause serious damage to
the engine. See instructions in the section
"Maintenance".
• The engine oil should be changed according to the
engine manual. Refer to the engine manual for
recommendations on which oil type to use. Never use
oil intended for two-stroke engines.
FUEL HANDLING
Fueling
!
Never start the machine:
• If you have spilled fuel or engine oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spill and allow the remaining fuel to
evaporate.
• If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
• If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or open flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
Long-term storage
• When storing the machine for long periods, the fuel
tank and carburetor bowl must be emptied. Contact
your local petrol station to find out where to dispose of
excess fuel.
WARNING! Always stop the engine and
let it cool for a few minutes before
refuelling.
Use a fuel can at all times to avoid
spillage.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling. Negligence may lead to the
start of a fire.
Move the machine at least 3 m from the
refuelling point before starting it.
