Safe Handling With Fuels; Before The First Start-Up; Fuelling; Petrol - ATIKA HB 60 Bedienungsanleitung

Safe handling with fuels

Fuels and fuel vapours are inflammable and may
cause serious injury on the skin or when inhaled.
Therefore be careful and provide sufficient
ventilation when handling with fuels.
Stop the engine and allow the device to cool down before
fuelling it.
Do not smoke and avoid open flames when fuelling.
Wear gloves when fuelling.
Do not fuel in closed rooms.
Avoid spilling of fuel or oil. Clean the hedge trimmer
immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil. Change your
clothes immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil on
them.
Make sure that no fuel can come into the soil.
Carefully close the tank cap after fuelling and check that it
does not get loose during operation.
Check that there is no leakage on the tank cap and fuel
lines. If there are leaks this device may not be started.
Only transport and store fuels in containers approved and
identified for this.
Keep children away from fuels.
Do not handle and store fuels close to combustible and
highly inflammable materials as well as sparks and open
flames.
Go away at least three metres from the fuelling place to
start the device.

Before the first start-up

The hedge trimmer is supplied without fuel.
Fuel the hedge trimmer as described under "Fuelling".

Fuelling

This device is operated by a mixture from regular petrol
(unleaded) and two-stroke engine oil.
Utmost care is required when handling fuel
and oil. Keep away smoke and open flames
(risk of explosion).

Petrol

Petrol: Octane number at least 91 ROZ unleaded
Do not fill in leaded petrol, diesel or other non-approved
fuels.
Do not use petrol having a smaller octance number than 91
ROZ. This may lead to severe engine damages due to
increased engine temperatures.
If you frequently operate the device at high speeds, you
should use petrol with a higher octane number.
The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for environment
protection reasons.

Two-stroke engine oil:

acc. to JASO FC or ISO EGD specifications
Do not use
− four-stroke oil or two-stroke oil for water-cooled outboard
engines,
− mixtures ready for use from petrol stations.

Mixing

Ratio of mixture: 50:1
Petrol Two-stroke engine oil 2% (50:1)
1 litres 0.02 litres
2 litres 0.04 litres
5 litres 0.10 litres
10 litres 0.20 litres
Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small deviation of it
has a large effect on the ratio of mixture in particular for
small fuel quantities.
Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead to more
residues of combustion, a higher fuel consumption, a
decrease of output or damages to the engine.
Mix petrol and oil in a clean container approved for petrol and
appropriately identified. Use a fuel container with overfill
protection.
1. At first fill in half the quantity of petrol to be mixed.
2. Then fill in the total amount of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Fill in the remaining quantity of petrol.
Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to ageing.
Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result in starting problems.
Therefore, mix 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 hedge trimmer

• 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 hedge trimmer in the open or in sufficiently
ventilated rooms.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck. Contamination in the
tank may result in malfunction.
