4 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.
4.1 Filling with petrol (7:Q)
Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 6 litres. The level can easily be read
through the transparent tank.
NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable
and must not be stored for more than 30 days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate
petrol. 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 up 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.
See fig. 7.
4.2 Checking the engine oil level
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
40 oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.
Slide it down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if
the level comes below it. See fig. 8.
The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark.
This results in the engine overheating. If the oil
level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be
drained until the correct level is achieved.
4.3 Checking transmission oil level
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (9:R). It
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If
necessary, top up with more oil.
