the fuel quality (octane rating) and on
using special, environmentally friendly
fuels.
Engine oil
Only use the following
biodegradable engine oils:

Please consult the engine instruction
manual for the oil capacity.
Check the oil filling level at regular
intervals (see engine instruction
manual).
Filling the fuel tank

● Hold canister (3) steadily and pour in
the fuel carefully in several stages only
as far as the lower edge of the filler neck
so that the fuel has room to expand.
The more fuel has already been filled
into the tank, the smaller the filling
quantities should be for each filling
operation.
Keep checking the filling level of the
tank at regular intervals while filling the
tank; remove the funnel for this
purpose.
