Harness
The harness is equipped with a fasten-release
mechanism. The harness enables the operator to support
the machine during use (see “Safety precautions”,
B7
).
Before fastening the machine to the strapping, adjust the
bandolier belt so that the fasten/release device is about
15 cm above your waist.
Preparation of the mixture
• To obtain the best mixture, pour the oil into an approved
container first, followed by the gasoline, and shake the
container well (every time you take fuel out of it).
• Be careful not to spill the gasoline.
• The characteristics of the mixture tend to deteriorate in
time, so you should only prepare as much mixture as
you are going to need (the use of deteriorated fuel can
seriously damage the engine).
Filling the tank
• Fill the tank in a well-ventilated place.
• Place the machine on a solid flat surface so that it
cannot tip over, with the cap on the tank facing upward.
• Clean the area around the fuel cap before removing it,
to prevent any impurities from contaminating the fuel.
• Take the cap off the fuel container carefully. Unscrew
the cap on the fuel tank and fill it with the necessary
quality, using a funnel.
• Take care not to spill any fuel.
• After filling the tank, screw the cap on tightly.
• During use, to prevent problems in starting the engine
again, we strongly recommend that you avoid letting
the fuel run out in the tank.
Fuel storage
• Gasoline is highly inflammable.
• Before going near any type of fuel, put out your
cigarette, pipe or cigar.
• Store the fuel in a cool, well-ventilated place, in an
approved fuel storage container.
• Never store the engine with fuel in the tank in a poorly
ventilated place where the fumes produced by the
gasoline could propagate and reach a fire, candle,
burner or furnace pilot light, water heater, dryer, etc.
• The fumes produced by the fuel can cause an
explosion or fire.
• Never store excessive quantities of fuel.
ƽ
CAUTION!
Engine exhaust fumes are toxic. For
this reason, you should not use the machine
indoors.
ƽ
CAUTION!
Engine exhaust fumes can get very
hot and may contain sparks. Do not use the
machine near inflammable material.
ƽ
CAUTION!
It is very important to familiarize
yourself with the release mechanism. In case of
emergency you need to be able to release the
machine quickly.
D. Fuel Mixture
ƽ
CAUTION!
• Do not smoke while refueling!
• Open the cap on the tank by loosening it slowly.
• Fill the tank outdoor, far from flames or sparks.
• Never add fuel in the tank when the engine is
running or hot to avoid the risk of fire (let the
engine cool off before filling the tank).
• Avoid contact of the oil and fuel with the skin
and eyes.
• Fill the tank in a well-ventilated place.
• Do not inhale the toxic fumes of the fuel
mixture.
• Store the fuel mixture in suitable fuel containers
only.
ƽ
CAUTION!
Do not use any other type of fuel than
the type recommended in this manual. This
machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and should therefore be fueled with a mixture of
unleaded gasoline (with a minimum octane rating
= 90) and fully synthetic oil specific for two-speed
engines that use unleaded gasoline in the
proportions indicated in the table on the cover, fig.
(
D
).
ƽ
CAUTION!
Control the specifications of the oil
shown on the package; the use of oil lacking the
specifications expressly indicated in this manual
could cause serious damage to the engine!
ƽ
CAUTION!
The following precautions should be
taken to reduce the fire hazard:
• Always ensure there is adequate ventilation.
• Do not smoke or take sources of heat or sparks
near the fuel.
• Refuel with the engine off.
• Open the cap on the tank carefully to eliminate
any excess pressure.
• Do not take the cap off the tank with the engine
running.
• After fueling, close the cap tightly.
ƽ
CAUTION!
If you spill any fuel, wipe it off the
machine. If you have spilt it on yourself, change
your clothes at once. Avoid contact with the skin
or eyes.
ƽ
CAUTION!
The muffler gets very hot during use
and remains hot for some time after switching off
the engine. This also applies at idle speed. Take
every precaution to reduce the fire hazard,
especially in the presence of inflammable
materials or gas.
