FUEL HANDLING

Mixing

Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.

Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.

Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank.

Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.

If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

Always shut off the engine before refuelling.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.

Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.

Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems.

Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.
