Stiga COMFORT CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL President - Comfort - Pro16 - Pro20, Safety System

ENGLISH

NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used within thirty days.

Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet- rol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature.

Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.

Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or top- ping up. Fill with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.

Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1

-2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms up without overflowing (fig. 28).
