Handling fuel
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain
substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room
or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of fuel or
oil with your skin. Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your
skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an
extended period of time, it will desiccale. Various skin deseases may
result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur. Eyes can
be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes,
immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated,
see a doctor immediately!
Fuel and oil mixture
The engine of the brush cutter or grass 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, oclane
value of 91 RON. In case no such fuel is available, you can use
fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect the engine, but
my 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:
TC-3), which is added to the fuel. The engine has been designed
for use of MAKITA two-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only
50 : 1 to protect the environment. In addition, a long service life and
a reliable operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases is
guaranteed.
The correct mixture ratio
Gasoline:MAKITA genuine two-stroke engine oil = 50:1 or
Gasoline: Other manufacturer's two-stroke engine oil = 25:1
recommended
NOTE:
For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity with
half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly
shake the mixture before filling it into the brush cutter or grass
trimmer tank.
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to ensure safe
operation. This will only result in a higher production of combus-
tion residues which will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust
channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler. In addition, the fue!
consumption will rise and the performance will decrease.
The engine must be switched off!
¢ Thoroughly clean the area around the plugs, to prevent dirt from
getting into the fuel tank.
e Unscrew the plug and fili the tank with fuel as the case may be.
e Tightly screw on the plug.
e Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling!
Storage of fuel
Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time.
Purchase only the quantity required for a 4 week operating period.
Only use approved fuel storage containers.
