5.2
Mixing and pouring in the petrol/oil
mixture (08)
IMPORTANT!
Danger of engine damage
Pure petrol will result in
damage and complete fail-
ure of the engine. Guaran-
tee claims against the
manufacturer are excluded
in this case.
■
Only operate the engine
using the specified pet-
rol/oil mixture ratio.
Mixing the petrol/oil to produce the mixture
The 2-stroke engine requires:
■
Lead-free, fresh petrol with an octane rating
of at least 90. Petrol stored for longer than 2
months will lead to deposits and malfunctions
of the engine.
■
High-quality synthetic oil for 2-stroke engines
Prepare a petrol/oil mixture in a ratio of 50:1 us-
ing these two constituents:
Mixing ratio
50 parts petrol: 1
part 2-stroke oil
1. Pour the petrol and 2-stroke oil into a fuel
mixing bottle (quantities, see table, depend-
ing on the size of the fuel mixing bottle).
2. Close the fuel mixing bottle and shake vigor-
ously several times so that the petrol and oil
can mix thoroughly.
Pouring in the petrol/oil mixture (08)
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Place the appliance on a level, horizontal sur-
face. The cap of the fuel tank must be facing
upwards.
3. Wipe the fuel tank cap (08/1), the fuel tank
(08/2) and the surrounding appliance parts
clean so that no dirt can get into the fuel tank
when the petrol/oil mixture is poured in.

4. Open the fuel tank cap slowly so the pres-
surised petrol/air mixture can slowly escape
from the fuel tank into the atmosphere. Leave
the cap hanging on the fuel tank.
5. Insert a funnel (08/3) into the filler neck (08/4)
of the fuel tank.
6. Pour the prepared petrol/oil mixture from the
fuel mixing bottle (08/5) into the fuel tank up
to the lower edge of the filler neck, but not
higher.
7. Remove the funnel and screw on the cap fin-
ger-tight.
8. Wipe any spilled petrol/oil mixture off the ap-
pliance and the surface.
6 OPERATION
6.1
Turning the "Bike" handle (09)
The "Bike" handle (09/1) can be turned on the
shaft (09/2) to increase the operating comfort:
■
Normal position: The "Bike" handle is at a
right angle, e.g. 90° to the shaft (09/A).
■
Turned position: The "Bike" handle can be
turned from 90° to 29° (09/B). The maximum
rotation is achieved when both markings
(09/3) coincide.
Note: Never turn the "Bike" handle smaller
than 29° when trimming or mowing!
■
Transport position: The "Bike" handle can be
turned until it touches the shaft (09/C).
6.2
Putting on the carrying belt (10)
Follow the figure (10) to put on the carrying belt.
■
Always use the carrying belt during work.
■
Only attach the appliance after the engine
has been started and is running in idle.
