General

WARNING! Running an engine in a
!
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flammable
and can cause serious injury when
inhaled or allowed to come in contact
with the skin. For this reason observe
caution when handling fuel and make
sure there is adequate ventilation.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible material!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.

Fuel

NOTICE! The machine is equipped with a four-stroke
engine. Make sure there is always sufficient oil in the
engine.
Gasoline
• Use good quality unleaded gasoline.
• The lowest recommended octane grade is 87
((RON+MON)/2). If you run the engine on a lower
octane grade than 87 so-called knocking can occur.
This gives rise to a high engine temperature and
increased bearing load, which can result in serious
engine damage.
Environment fuel
Engine oil
• Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too
low oil level can cause serious damage to the engine.
See instructions in the section "Maintenance".
• Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines.

FUEL HANDLING

Fueling

!
Never start the machine:
• If you have spilled fuel or engine oil on the machine,
wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
• If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
• If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or open flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
Long-term storage
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local gas station
to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refueling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refueling.
If the cap is not properly tightened the
cap might vibrate lose and fuel may
escape from the fuel tank creating a fire
hazard.
