Honda:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 7). Insert the
dipstick fully, but do not screw it into the thread.
Pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level
is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrol while the engine is running or still
warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al-
low a little room for the petrol to expand
if necessary.
Some engines have an extra safety cover under the
regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.
Preferably use an environmentally friendly petrol,
i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a com-
position that is less harmful to people and nature.
It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alco-
hols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.
NOTE! If you change to environmental-
ly friendly petrol in an engine previously
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),
the petrol manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions must be followed carefully.
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-
free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more
petrol than can be used within thirty days.

not start in long grass.
