7. Before starting the equipment

The hedge trimmer is supplied without fuel. Fuel the hedge trimmer as described under “Fuelling”. Fuelling

• This device is operated by a mixture from regular petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke engine oil. Utmost care is required when handling fuel and oil. Keep away smoke and open ames (risk of explo- sion). Petrol Petrol: Octane number at least 91 ROZ unleaded

• Do not ll in leaded petrol, diesel or other non-appro- ved fuels.

• Do not use petrol having a smaller octance number than 91 ROZ. This may lead to severe engine dama- ges due to increased engine temperatures.

• If you frequently operate the device at high speeds, you should use petrol with a higher octane number.

• The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for envi- ronment protection reasons. Two-stroke engine oil: acc. to JASO FC or ISO EGD specications Do not use - four-stroke oil or two-stroke oil for water-cooled outboard engines, - mixtures ready for use from petrol stations. Mixing Ratio of mixture: 40:1 Petrol Two-stroke engine oil 2,5% (40:1) 1 litres 0.025 litres 2 litres 0.05 litres 5 litres 0.125 litres 10 litres 0.25 litres

• Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small devi- ation of it has a large effect on the ratio of mixture in particular for small fuel quantities.

• Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead to more residues of combustion, a higher fuel consump- tion, a decrease of output or damages to the engine. Mix petrol and oil in a clean container approved for petrol and appropriately identied. Use a fuel container with overll protection.

1. At rst ll in half the quantity of petrol to be mixed.

2. Then ll in the total amount of oil.

3. Shake the fuel mixture.

4. Fill in the remaining quantity of petrol.

Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to ageing. Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result in starting problems. Therefore, mix only that quantity of fuel which you can use within a month. Only store fuels in containers approved and identied for this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area. Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach for children. Caution! Prior to starting the machine learn how to put it out of action in emergency cases. Fuelling the hedge trimmer
