The engine must run on a mixture of unleaded petrol and
2-stroke engine oil in the ratio 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 petrol 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 ratio than recommended
may lead to irreversible damage to the engine. Petrol or oil
of low quality can damage the engine, gaskets, hoses and
the fuel tank.
Keep the fuel mixture in proper and adequate tanks
in a safe, dry, cool place protected from sunlight.
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 mixture fuel container before refueling the fuel
tank.
Pressure may form inside the tank, for this reason it
shall be opened carefully. Avoid direct skin contact
and inhalation of flammable vapours.
When refilling the fuel tank, do not add petrol above the
maximum level of the filler cap.
Before any maintenance or cleaning work, place the
equipment on a levelled surface, switch off 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.
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
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.
The air filter should be cleaned regularly. Dirty air filters
decrease engine power, increase fuel consumption,
hamper start-ups, cause carburetor malfunctions, and
cause engine parts wear.
1. Rotate the air inlet regulating button counter clockwise.
This avoids the entry of waste into the carburetor when
the filter element is removed;
2. Untighten the tightening screws and remove the air filter
cover;
3. Remove the filter element and blow it with compressed
air until it is completely clean. If it does not allow an
efficient cleaning or it is damaged, replace it;
4. Insert the filter element and assemble the remaining
components in the reverse order of disassembly.
Using a dirty filter will restrict the airflow in the
carburetor affecting the engine performance.
1. Empty the fuel tank;
2. Remove the fuel line hose from inside the tank and
remove the filter;
3. Blow the filter with compressed air until it is completely
clean. If it does not allow effective cleaning or is
damaged, replace it.
