Refuelling; Topping Up The Chain Oil Tank - Stiga SP 316 Manual De Instrucciones

IMPORTANT Only use quality fuels and oils
to maintain high performance and guarantee
the duration of the mechanical parts over time.
7.2.1 Petrol characteristics
Only use unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of at least 90.
IMPORTANT Unleaded petrol tends to
create deposits in the container if stored for
more than 2 months. Always use fresh petrol!
7.2.2 Oil characteristics
Only use top quality synthetic oil that is
specifically for two-stroke engines, with
minimum JASO FC specifications.
Your Dealer can provide you with oils which
have been specifically developed for this
type of engine, and which are capable of
guaranteeing a high level of protection.
The use of these oils makes it possible
to prepare a 2% mixture, consisting
of 1 part oil to 50 parts petrol.
7.2.3 Preparation and storage

The chart indicates the amount of petrol
and oil to use to prepare the fuel mixture.

To prepare the fuel mixture:
1. Place about half the amount of
petrol in a homologated tank.
2. Add all the oil.
3. Add the rest of the petrol.
4. Close the top and shake well.
IMPORTANT The fuel mixture tends to age.
Do not prepare excessive amounts of the fuel
mixture to avoid the formation of deposits.
IMPORTANT Keep the petrol and
fuel mixture containers separate and
easily identifiable to avoid the mistake
of using one in place of the other.

7.3 REFUELLING

Refuelling must take place
when the machine is switched off
and the spark plug cap removed.
Before refuelling:
1. Shake the fuel mixture container well.
2. Place the machine on a flat stable surface,
with the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
NOTE Near the fuel mixture tank cap (Fig.
26.A) you will find the following symbol:
Fuel mixture tank
3. Clean the fuel tank cap and the
surrounding area to prevent any dirt from
entering the tank during refuelling.
4. Open the fuel tank cap carefully to allow
the pressure inside to decrease gradually.
5. Use a funnel to refill and avoid
filling the tank to the brim.

7.4 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK

NOTE Near the chain oil tank cap (Fig.
26.B) you will find the following symbol:
Chain oil tank
IMPORTANT Only use chainsaw
oil or adhesive oil for chainsaws. Do
not use oil containing impurities so as
not to block the oil filter and to prevent
irreparable damage to the oil pump.
It is essential that you use good quality oil
to lubricate the cutting parts effectively.
Used or poor quality oil does not
guarantee good lubrication and reduces
the working life of the chain and bar.
– It is always worth topping up the oil tank
completely (using a funnel) every time
you refuel. Since the oil tank capacity
