• If the machine is not used for some time, the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
WARNING: The catalytic converter
muffler gets very hot during and after use.
This also applies during idling. Be aware
of the fire hazard, especially when
working near flammable substances
and/or vapors.
Fueling
WARNING: Taking the following
precautions will lessen the risk of fire:
• Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
• Always shut off the engine before refueling.
• Always stop the engine and let it cool for a
few minutes before refueling.
• When refueling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
• Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refueling.
• Always move the machine away from the
refueling area before starting.
• Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Contamination in the tank can cause operating
problems.
• Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container before filling the tank.
