OPERATION
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded petrol. Before operation, petrol must
be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-
cooled engine oil. We recommend using a
good quality fully synthetic oil mixed at a ratio
of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mix-
ing 5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of
oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.
These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil con-
tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake con-
tainer momentarily to assure that the fuel is thor-
oughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
empty the fuel system before storage for 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the en-
gine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-
tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Nev-
er use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
