Operation

1. Pour the petrol and 2-stroke oil into a fuel
mixing bottle (quantities, see table, depend-
ing on the size of the fuel mixing bottle).
2. Close the fuel mixing bottle and shake vigor-
ously several times so that the petrol and oil
can mix thoroughly.
Pouring in the petrol/oil mixture (15)
1. Place the appliance on a level, horizontal sur-
face. The cap of the fuel tank must be facing
upwards.
2. Wipe the fuel tank cap (15/1), the fuel tank
(15/2) and the surrounding appliance parts
clean so that no dirt can get into the fuel tank
when the petrol/oil mixture is poured in.
3. Open the fuel tank cap slowly so the pres-
surised petrol/air mixture can slowly escape
from the fuel tank into the atmosphere. Leave
the cap hanging on the fuel tank.
4. Insert a funnel (15/3) into the filler neck (15/4)
of the fuel tank.
5. Pour the prepared petrol/oil mixture from the
fuel mixing bottle (15/5) into the fuel tank up
to the lower edge of the filler neck, but not
higher.
6. Remove the funnel and screw on the cap fin-
ger-tight.
7. Wipe any spilled petrol/oil mixture off the ap-
pliance and the surface.
