Fuel
The engine must run on a mixture of unleaded petrol
and 2-stroke engine oil in the proportion of 1: 40 (1 liter
of oil for each 40L of petrol).
1. Place the 2-stroke engine oil in a fuel-approved tank;
2. Add gasoline to 2-stroke engine oil;
3. Place the tank cap and shake it thoroughly to mix the
oil with petrol;
Unsuitable fuels or with a different proportion than
recommended may lead to irreversible damage to the
engine. Petrol or oil of low quality can damage the
engine, seal rings, hoses and the fuel tank.
Keep the fuel mixture in proper and adequate
tanks in a safe, dry, cool place protected from
sunlight. The fuel mixture ages; mix only the amount
needed for a few weeks. Do not store or use fuel with
more than 30 days.
Shake the fuel tank before refueling.
Pressure may form inside the tank, for this reason
it shall be opened carefully. Avoid direct skin
contact and inhalation of flammable vapors.
When refilling the fuel tank, do not add petrol above the
maximum level of the filler nozzle.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Before any maintenance or cleaning work, place
the equipment on a levelled surface, unplug the
engine and pull out the spark plug cap.
Never touch the exhaust, spark plug, or other
metal parts of the engine while the engine is
running or immediately after turning off the engine.
This can lead to severe burns or electric shock;
Sharpening the cutting blades
For a maximum performance, to avoid the risk of blade
rotation reversal and to extend the life of the machine,
maintain and always use blades with sharp teeth. A
badly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of
an accident.
See the blade packaging for proper sharpening
instructions. Use a flat file to sharpen the blades.
Sharpen all edges evenly to maintain the balance of the
blade.
Never attempt to straighten a deformed blade so that it
can be reused.
Always dispose of a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked
or damaged.
Cleaning the air filter
Dirty air filters reduce engine power, increase fuel
consumption and make starts more difficult.
1. Move the CHOKE levier until it touches the top. This
prevents the entrance of waste in the carburetor when
the filter is removed;
2. Unscrew the fixing screw, remove and clean the air
filter cover;
3. Remove the filter cover and blow it with compressed
air until it is completely clean. If it does not allow
effective cleaning or is damaged, replace it;
4. Insert the filter and assemble the remaining
components in reverse order of disassembly;
The use of a dirty filter will limit the air flow in the
carburetor affecting the performance of the unit;
Cleaning the fuel filter
1. Empty the fuel tank;
2. Remove the fuel hose from the tank and remove the
filter;
3. Blow the filter with compressed air until it is clean. If
it does not allow effective cleaning or is damaged,
replace it;
