Gasoline
Utmost care is required when handling fuel.
Do not smoke. Keep away open flames (risk of
explosion).
Clean fresh non-leaded gasoline having an octane
number of 85 as a minimum.
Do not fill in leaded, old or dirty gasoline, diesel, oil-gasoline
mixture or other fuels not approved.
Do not use gasoline having a smaller octance number than
85 ROZ. This may result in severe engine damage.
The use of unleaded gasoline is recommended for
environment protection reasons.
Storing fuel (gasoline)
Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to
ageing. Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result in
starting problems. Therefore, store only that quantity of fuel
which you can use within a month.
Only store fuels in containers approved and identified for
this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.
Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach for
children.
Fuelling the motor hoe
• Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
• Wear protective gloves!
• Avoid eye and skin contact.
• Strictly follow the instructions under "Safe
handling with fuels".
1. Only fuel the garden shredder outdoors or in sufficiently
ventilated rooms.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck. Contamination in the
