Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" in this instruction
manual).
WARNING
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and seri-
ous burn injury or
property damage. Use
extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel
mix. Do not smoke or
bring any fire or flame
near the fuel or the power
tool. Note that combus-
tible fuel vapor may
escape from the fuel
system.
Fueling Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury from
burns, never attempt to refuel the unit
until it has been completely removed
from the operator.
WARNING
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
SR 200
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
machine.
WARNING
Check for fuel leakage
while refueling and during
operation. If fuel leakage
is found, do not start or
run the engine until the
leak is fixed and any
spilled fuel has been
wiped away. Take care
not to get fuel on your
clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing
immediately.
Screw Cap
WARNING
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill quanti-
ties of fuel. In order to
reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten
the fuel filler cap by hand
as securely as possible.
See also the "Fueling" chapter in your
Instruction Manual for additional
information.
Filling the Container
WARNING
Tighten all connections and check to be
sure the hose is securely attached and
in good condition. Keep the valve lever
on the control lever closed.
Before using the power tool with
chemicals, fill it with fresh water to
assure that you have it properly
assembled and practice spraying. Also,
check for any leaks at this time. When
thoroughly familiar with the power tool
operation, follow normal operating
procedures.
Fill your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors.
WARNING
Do not use:
flammables in the mistblower, which
–
can explode causing serious or fatal
injury;
caustic or corrosive materials in the
–
mistblower, that could result in
damage to the unit;
liquids with a temperature above
–
120° F (50° C) to avoid scalding and
damage to the unit.
To fill the container, place the power tool
on a level surface. To reduce the risk of
contaminating the surrounding
environment, be careful not to overfill the
container with chemical solution.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not fill the
unit while wearing it on your back.
If you fill the container with a hose
attached to a central water supply, be
sure the end of the hose is out of the
