Preparing the unit

Engine

Fuelling and checking/topping up the oil level

Fill the engine with petrol and oil as described in the enclosed engine manual.

Note: The engine should already have been filled with oil at the factory – please check and, if required, top up (oil level must be between the “Full/Max.” and “Add/Min.” mark). Never fill the petrol tank to over- flowing, but to no more than 1 cm below the lower edge of the inlet nozzle.

Close the fuel tank securely.

Risk of suffocation from carbon monoxide.

Run the internal combustion engine outdoors only.

Risk of explosion and fire. Fuel/petrol vapours are explosive and fuel is highly flammable. Before starting the engine, fill with fuel. Keep the fuel tank closed while the engine is running or still hot. Before refuelling, switch off the engine and leave to cool down. Avoid naked flames and making sparks and do not smoke. Refuel the unit outdoors only. Do not start the engine if fuel has overflowed. Move the unit away from the spilled fuel and wait until the fuel vapours have evaporated. To prevent the risk of fire, please keep the following parts free of foliage, small twigs and leaking oil: engine, exhaust, fuel tank.
