Refuelling
IMPORTANT:
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be turned off and cooled down!
Carefully clean the area around the fuel-tank ller neck to keep
dirt from getting in the tank.
Place the unit on its side on an even surface.
Unscrew the tank cap and ll tank with fuel mixture. Take care
to avoid spilling.
Screw the tank cap back on hand-tight.
Clean screw cap and tank after refuelling. Never start or op-
erate the Power Cut in the same place as it was fuelled!
If fuel gets on your clothing, change clothes immediately.
Fuel mixture
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
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 dry out. 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!
DOLMAR High Performance two-stroke engine oil (50:1) is
available in the following sizes to suit your individual require-
ments:
2.6 oz. order number 986 100 100
6.4 oz. order number 986 100 101
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture rst mix the entire oil
quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining
fuel. Shake the nished mixture thoroughly before pouring it
into the tank.
Caution: Open the tank cap carefully, as pressure might
have built up inside!
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specied to
ensure safe operation. This 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 mufer. In addition, fuel consumption will
rise and performance will decrease.
The Storage of Fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures
age through evaporation, especially at high temperatures.
Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting problems
and damage the engine.Purchase only that amount of fuel,
which will be consumed over the next few months. At high
temperatures, once fuel has been mixed it should be used
up in 6-8 weeks.
Use only approved and marked containers for transport
and storage. Store fuel only in dry, cool and secure
locations!
