FUEL HANDLING 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 measure 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. WARNING! Always ensure there is ! adequate ventilation when handling fuel. Gasoline CAUTION! Always use high grade oil mixed gasoline (minimum 87 RON). Two-stroke oil • For best results and performance, use a good quality fully sythetic air cooled two stroke oil at a mixture of 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. Gasoline, litre 5 10 15 20 US gallon 1 2 1/2 5 Two-stroke oil, litre 2% (50:1) 0,10 0.42/0,20 0,6/0,30 0,40 US fl. oz. 2 1/2 6 1/4 12 1/2 • 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 socalled "knocking" can occur. This leads to an increased engine temperature, which can result in a serious engine breakdown. • When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended. Use good quality unleaded gasoline. Ethanol blended fuel, E10 may be used (max 10% ethanol blend). Using ethanol blends higher than E10 will create lean running condition which can cause engine damage. Mixing • Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. • Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline. • Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine's fuel tank. • Do not mix more than one month's supply of fuel at a time. • If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned. • This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
