USE OF THE PRODUCT
BEFORE USING THE CHECKLIST
ATTENTION: Be sure to perform all of the following procedures before starting the engine or
running the equipment. All the procedures described are generic in nature and there may be slight
variations between different models. Failure to follow the checklist and perform the procedures
correctly may void the product warranty.
AIR FILTER
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal damage
to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance. Always check the air filter before starting the engine.
FUEL
Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources.
•
The engine must be cool before refuelling.
Adequately fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel type.
•
Use non-ethanol unleaded mixed at 25:1 ratio with 2-stroke engine oil (higher RON values and good quality
2-stroke oil will provide best engine performance). Do not use old or contaminated fuel/oil. Fuel/oil mix ratio
examples are shown below.

To fill or top up fuel:
1.
Place the machine in a horizontal position with the fuel filler cap facing up on a flat and level surface.
2.
Clean the machine around the fuel filler so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the cap
is removed.
3.
Remove (rotate left) the fuel filler cap.
4.
Using a funnel, carefully fill the tank with fuel. Do not fill above the top of the strainer (if equipped) or
otherwise overfill the tank..
5.
When finished, reinstall (rotate right) the fuel filler cap until firm. Wipe away any residual fuel from the
machine. If fuel has been spilt, move the pump away from the spillage before starting the engine.
PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM
When an engine is new or has been completely run out of fuel it may be necessary to "prime" the fuel system before
attempting to start the engine. This means removing any air from the fuel line.
To prime:
1.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
2.
Press the fuel primer (A) bulb repeatedly until you feel
resistance or pressure in the bulb – this indicates that it is full
of fuel. Fuel will also be visible in the fuel intake tube.
