FUEL/REFUELLING

Handling fuel

Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances similar
to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel
vapors, and avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin.
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. Prolonged skin contact with these products
will cause your skin to become extremely dry, which may result in various kinds of
skin disease. In addition, allergic reactions may occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately
wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately.
Fuel and oil mixture
The string trimmer engine is a high-efficiency two-stroke engine. It runs on a mixture
of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The engine is designed for unleaded regular fuel
with a min. octane value of 91 RON.
To obtain optimum engine performance and to protect your health and the
environment, use only unleaded fuel!
To lubricate the engine, add two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: JASO FC or ISO
EGD) to the fuel. The engine has been designed to use the specified two-stroke
engine oil at mixture ratio of 50:1 to protect the environment.
Additionally, long service life accompanied by reliable operation and minimum
emissions are guaranteed through the use of this mixture ratio. Reliable functioning
of the string trimmer cannot be guaranteed unless this mixture ratio of 50:1
(specified 2-stroke engine oil) is strictly observed.
Correct mixture ratio:
Gasoline: Specified two-stroke engine oil = 50 : 1 or
Gasoline: Other manufacturer's two-stroke engine oil = 25 : 1 recommended
NOTE: To prepare the fuel-oil mixture, first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the
fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly shake the mixture
before pouring it into the string trimmer tank. To ensure safe operation,
do not add more engine oil than the specified amount. Doing so will only
result in a higher production of combustion residues which pollute the
environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the
muffler. In addition, the fuel consumption will rise and the performance will
decrease.
Refuelling
The engine must be switched off.
– Thoroughly clean the area around the fuel filler cap (2) to prevent dirt from getting
into the fuel tank (1).
– Unscrew the fuel filler cap (2) and fill the tank with fuel.
– Tightly screw on the fuel filler cap (2).
– Clean the screw fuel filler cap (2) and tank after refuelling.

Storage of Fuel

Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time.
Purchase only the quantity required for a 4-week operating period. Only use
approved fuel storage containers.
