FUEL HANDLING
Gasoline
Fuel safety
Never start the machine:
1. If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the
spillage and aIIow remaining fuel to evapo-
rate.
2. If you have spilled fuel on yourseIf or your
clothes, change your clothes. Wash any
part of your body that has come in contact
with fuel. Use soap and water.
3. If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regu-
larly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel
_ines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel
so that there is no risk of any leakage or
fumes coming into contact with sparks or
naked flames, for example, from electri-
cal machh_ery, e_ectric motors, electrical
relays/switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fue_ al-
ways use approved containers intended
for this purpose.
• When storing the machine for long peri-
ods the fuel tank must be emptied. Con-
tact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that
a complete service is carried out before
tong-term storage.
• The transport guard must always be
fitted to the cutting attachment when the
machine is being transported or in stor-
age.
• In order to prevent unintentional starting
of the engine, the spark plug cap must
always be removed during long-term
storage, if the machine is not under
close supervision and when performing
all service measures.
_lb ARNING:
Take care when han-
dling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of
fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.
Fuel
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a
two-stroke engine and must always be run
using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke
engine oil. It is important to accurately mea-
sure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure
that the correct mixture is obtained. When
mixing small amounts of fuel, even small
inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio
of the mixture.
l_i ARNING:
Fuel and fuel fumes
are highly inflammable and can
cause serious injury when inhaled
or allowed to come in contact with
the skin, For this reason observe
caution when handling fuel and
make sure there is adequate ven-
tilation.
CAUTION! Always use high quality
unleaded gasoline.
• This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
• The lowest recommended octane rating is
87. If you run the engine on lower octane
rating than 87, "knocking" can occur. This
leads to an increased engine tempera-
ture, which can result in a serious engine
breakdown=
• When working at continuous high revs, a
higher octane rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
• For best results and performance, use
JONSERED two-stroke oil, which is
specially formulated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• To maximize the life of your trimmer, you
may choose to use a high quality syn-
thetic oil formulated for two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• Never use two-stroke oil intended for
water-cooled outboard engines,
sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
• Never use oil intended for four-stroke
engines.
