FUEL HANDLING
English 19
Chain oil
We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with
good adhesion characteristics.
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become
too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
Fuelling
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and
chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced
at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes
malfunction. Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking
the container before refuelling. The capacities of the chain
oil tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should
therefore always fill the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the
same time.
Fuel safety
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself 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 regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
!
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
!
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are
highly flammable. Take care when
handling fuel and chain oil. Be aware of
the risks of fire, explosion and those
associated with inhalation.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with
visible damage to the spark plug guard
and ignition cable. A risk of sparking
arises, which can cause a fire.
