Attachment And Operation - Scheppach PHT600 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Two-stroke motor oil:
In accordance to the specification JASO FC or ISO
EGD
Do not use
- four-stroke oil or two-stroke for water-cooled out-
board motors.
- a premixture from petrol stations.
The mixture
Mixing ratio 40:1
Petrol two-stroke motor oil 2.5% (40:1)
1 litre 0.025 litres
2 litres 0.05 litres
5 litres 0.125 litres
10 litres 0.25 litres
• Ensure that the oil quantity measurements are pre-
cise as with low amounts of fuel a slight deviation
in the oil quantity can have strong effects on the
mixing ratio.
• Do not change the mixing ratio as this increases
combustion residues, increases fuel consumption
and reduces performance, or damages the motor.
Mix the petrol and oil in a clean container approved
and labelled for petrol. Use a fuel container with
overfill protection.
1. First, fill with half of the petrol required for the
mixture.
2. Then fill with the entire amount of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Fill with the rest of the petrol.
Fuels only have a limited shelf life as they age. Ex-
pired fuels and fuel mixtures can result in start prob-
lems. Therefore only mix as much fuel as required
for one months use. Only store fuels in approved and
labelled containers. Store the fuel container in a dry
and safe place.
Make sure that the fuel container cannot be
reached by children when stored.
Attention! Before commissioning, find out how to take
the device out of operation in an emergency!
Refuelling the hedge trimmer
• Switch off the engine and allow it to cool!
• Wear safety gloves!
• Avoid skin and eye contact!
• Always observe, "Safe use of fuel".
1. Only refuel the hedge trimmer outdoors or in suf-
ficiently ventilated rooms.
2. Clean the area surrounding the filling area. Impu-
rities in the tank lead to operational faults.
3. Before refuelling, shake the container with the fu-
el mixture.
4. Carefully open the tank plug (12) so that any pos-
sible overpressure can be relieved.
5. Carefully fill the petrol mixture up to the lower
edge of the filler neck.
6. Close the tank plug again. Ensure that the tank
cap is tightly sealed.
7. Clean the tank cap and the surroundings.
8. Check the tank and fuel lines for leaks.
9. Press the fuel pump (11) if necessary.
10. Move at least three meters away from the refuel-
ling area before starting the engine.
