Preparing The Fuel; Fuel Supply - Shindaiwa EB262 Manual De Instrucciones

Preparing the fuel

 Fuel is highly inflammable and there is a risk of fire if it is handled incorrectly. Carefully read
and observe the precautions in the section of this manual titled "For safe use of your prod-
uct".
 Once the refuelling is complete, securely tighten the fuel tank cap and do not forget to
check that there are no leaks or discharges of fuel from the fuel pipe, fuel system grommets,
or around the fuel tank cap. If you do find fuel leaks or discharges, stop using the product
immediately and contact your shindaiwa dealer to have it repaired.
 If the fuel ignites, it could cause burns and fire.
There is difference in pressure between the fuel tank and the outside air. When refuelling, loosen the fuel tank cap
slightly to eliminate the difference in pressure.
 Otherwise, fuel may get spewed.
NOTE
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect use in thirty (30) days. Do not mix directly in fuel tank.
