PREPARING TO WORK

CHECKING THE MACHINE
Before starting work please:

  • Check that all the screws on the machine and the blade is tightly fastened;
  • check that the blades are sharp and there are no signs of any damage;
  • check that the air filter is clean;
  • check that the protection devices are well fastened and working efficiently;
  • check that the handgrips are well fastened

PREPARING THE FUEL
This machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine which requires a mix of petrol and lubricating oil.
IMPORTANT Using petrol alone will da­mage the motor and will cause for invalidation of the warranty.
IMPORTANT
Only use quality fuels and oils to maintain high performance and guarantee the duration of the mechanical parts over time.
Petrol characteristics
Only use unleaded petrol (green petrol) with an octane number no less than 90
IMPORTANT
Unleaded petrol tends to cre­ ate deposits in the container if preserved for more than 2 months. Always use fresh petrol!

Oil characteristics
Only use top-quality synthetic oil specifically for two-stroke engines.
Your retailer can provide you with oils that have been specifically studied for this type of en gi ne, which are capable of guaranteeing a high level of protection.
The use of these oils makes it possible to prepare a 2.5% mix, consisting of 1 part oil to 40 parts petrol.

  • Preparation and preservation of the fuel mix

DANGER!
Petrol and the fuel mix are highly inflammable!
– Keep the petrol and fuel mix in homologated fuel containers, in a safe place, away from any flames or heat sources.
– Never leave the containers within the reach of children.
– Never smoke whilst preparing the mix and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.

The chart indicates the amount of petrol and oil to use to prepare the fuel mix according to the type of oil used.

Petrol Synthetic oil 2-stroke
liters liters
1 0.025
2 0.050
3 0.075
5 0.125
10 0.250

To prepare the fuel mix:
– Place about half the amount of petrol in a homologated tank.
– Add all the oil, according to the chart.
– Add the rest of the petrol.
– Close the top and shake well.

IMPORTANT
The fuel mix tends to age. Do not prepare excessive amounts of the fuel mix to avoid deposits from forming.
IMPORTANT
Keep the petrol and fuel mix containers separate and easily identifiable to avoid the mistake of using one in place of the other.
IMPORTANT
Periodically clean the petrol and fuel mix containers to remove any eventual deposits.
