FUEL HANDLING

70 – English

Mixing

•

Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container 
intended for fuel.

•

Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to 
be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix 
(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of 
petrol.

•

Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling 
the machine’s fuel tank.

•

Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a 
time.

•

If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank 
should be emptied and cleaned.

Fuelling

•

Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.

•

Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in 
the tank can cause operating problems.

•

Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the 
container before filling the tank.

!

WARNING! Taking the following 

precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:

Do not smoke or place hot objects near 

fuel.

Always shut off the engine before 

refuelling.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for 

a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly 

so that any excess pressure is released 

gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after 

refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the 

refuelling area before starting.
