FUELS/REFUELLING

Fuel and oil mirture
– The engine of the hedge Trimmer is a high-efficiency two-stroke
engine.
It is run with a mixture of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The engine
is designed for unleaded regular fuel with a min. -octane value of 91
ROZ.
In case no such fuel is available, you can use fuel with a higher
octane value. This will not damage the engine, but may cause poor
operating behaviour.
A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel.
To obtain optimum engine operation and to protect your health and
the environment, only unleaded fuel should be used!
– For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality
grade:TSC-3), which is added to the fuel.
The engine has been designed for use with MAKITA two-stroke
engine oil and a mixture ratio of 50:1 only to protect the environment.
In addition, a long service life and a reliable operation with a
minumum emission of exhaust gases is guaranteed. It is absolutely
essential to observe a mixture ratio of 50:1 (MAKITA 2-stroke engine
oil), otherwise the reliable function of the Hedge Trimmer cannot be
guaranteed.
– The correct mixture ratio:
Mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part MAKITA 2-stroke engine oil (See
table on the right)
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture, first mix the entire oil
quantity with half of the fuel required. In an approved can
which meets of exceeds all local code standards, then add the
remaining fuel.
Thoroughly shake the mixture before filling it into the Hedge
Trimmer's tank.
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to ensure
safe operation. It will only result in a higher production of
combustion residues which will pollute the environment and
clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler.
In addition, the fuel consumption will rise and the performance
will decrease.
Handling petroleum products
Utmost care is required when handling fuel.
substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated area or
outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of fuel or oil with
your skin.
If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for
an extended period of time, it will desiccate.
Variouse skin diseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions are
known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil, fuel etc.
If oil, fuel, etc., comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear
water. If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
