							8PREPARING TO WORKEN
CHECKING THE MACHINE
Before starting work please:
– check that all the screws on the machine andthe cutting device are tightly fastened;– check that the cutting device is undamagedand that the 3 or 4-point metal blades (if fitted)are properly sharpened;– check that the air filter is clean;– check that the protection devices are well fas-tened and working efficiently;– check the handgrips are well fastened.
PREPARING THE FUEL
This machine is fitted with a two-stroke enginewhich requires a mixture of petrol and lubricatingoil.
Using petrol alone will dam-age the motor and will cause for invalidation ofthe warranty.
Only use quality fuels andoils to maintain high performance and guaranteethe duration of the mechanical parts over time.
• Petrol characteristics
Only use unleaded petrol with a fuel grade of atleast 90 N.O.
Unleaded petrol tends tocreate deposits in the container if preserved formore than 2 months. Always use fresh petrol!
• Oil characteristics
Only use top quality synthetic oil specifically fortwo-stroke engines.
Your dealer can provide you with oils which havebeen specifically developed for this type ofengine, and which are capable of guaranteeing ahigh level of protection.
The use of these oils makes it possible to pre-pare a 2% mixture, consisting in 1 part oil to 50parts petrol.
In the event that no specific oil is available, it is
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
possible to use a mineral lubricating oil forengines (class FA or FB), where in this case themixture must be 4%, i.e. 1 part oil and 25 partspetrol.
• Preparation and preservation of the fuelmixture
Petrol and the fuel mixture are highly inflam-mable!– Keep the petrol and fuel mixture in homolo-gated fuel containers, in safe place, awayfrom any flames or heat sources.– Never leave the containers within the reachof children.– Never smoke whilst preparing the mixtureand avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
The chart indicates the amount of petrol and oilto use to prepare the fuel mixture according tothe type of oil used.
To prepare the fuel mixture:
– Place about half the amount of petrol in ahomologated tank.– Add all the oil, according to the chart.– Add the rest of the petrol.– Close the top and shake well.
The fuel mixture tends toage. Do not prepare excessive amounts of thefuel mixture to avoid deposits from forming.
Keep the petrol and fuelmixture containers separate and easily identifi-able to avoid the mistake of using one in place ofthe other.
