Fueling

Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.

Always position the machine so that the filler cap points upwards.

Always thoroughly shake the mixture in the canister before fueling your machine.

In order to reduce the risk of burns or other personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly.
