1.Place the blower upright on the ground or on a sturdy bench and wipe any debris from around the fuel cap.

2.Unscrew the fuel tank cap (7) and pour the mixture into the tank using a funnel (not supplied).

3.Be careful not to spill any mixture. If this happens, wipe the spill with a clean rag.

4.Start the engine at least three metres away from the area where the fuel tank has been filled up in order to avoid any risk of fire.

Danger of fire and burn injuries.

Always use extreme care when handling fuel! Fuel is highly flammable.

Never attempt to fuel the blower if the fuel system components are damaged or are leaking.

Never attempt the refuel the engine while it is running or still warm, allow it to cool before fuelling.

Never smoke or light any fires near the blower or fuels.

Always transport and store fuels in an approved container.

Never place flammable material close the engine muffler.

Do not use petrol which contains ethanol or methanol as it may damage the fuel lines and other engine parts.

Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs. If fuel must be stored longer than 30 days, it should first be treated with a stabilizer or similar product.
