9. Before commissioning

m CAUTION:
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
9.1

Check before operation

• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the fuel level – the tank should be at least
half full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws, nuts and bolts are tightened.
• Handles must be clean and dry, free of oil and dirt
– important for safe handling of the motor device.
• Check the smooth running of all moving parts.
• Prepare the device for the respective use and make
sure that all parts are correctly assembled.
9.2

Fuel and oil

Recommended fuels
This device is equipped with a two-stroke engine that
requires a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil.
The use of petrol alone will damage the engine and
invalidate the warranty.
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special
2-stroke engine oil.
Mix the fuel-oil mixture as per the fuel mixing table.
Use only high quality fuels and oils to maintain high
performance and guarantee the service life of the
mechanical parts over time.
9.2.1 Suitable petrol
Use only unleaded petrol (min. RON 95).
Note
Unleaded petrol tends to form deposits in the storage
container and tank if stored for longer than 1 month.
Always use fresh petrol!
9.2.2 Suitable oil
Use only high-quality 2-stroke engine oil. Suitable oils
are available from specialist retailers.
Prepare a fuel-oil mixture in a ratio of 1 to 40 in ac-
cordance with the fuel mixture table.
Note
Do not use 2-stroke oil that recommends a mixing
ratio of 100:1. The engine guarantee of the manufac-
turer becomes invalid in the event of damage to the
engine due to insufficient lubrication.
Never use oil for 4-stroke engines or water-cooled
2-stroke engines. This can cause the spark plug to
become fouled, the exhaust part to become blocked
or the piston ring to become stuck.

9.2.3 Mixing fuel

The engine must be operated with a fuel mixture of
petrol and engine oil.
WARNING!
Avoid direct skin contact with fuel and inhalation of
fuel vapours.
WARNING!
Petrol and the fuel-oil mixture are highly flammable!
• Use only designated and approved vessels for the
transport and storage of fuel.
• Keep fuel tanks out of reach of children.
• Do not smoke when dealing with fuel.
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol (min. RON 95)
and special 2-stroke engine oil (JASO FD/ISO - L -
EGD). Mix the fuel mixture as per the fuel mixing ta-
ble.
Put the correct amount of petrol and 2-stroke oil into
the enclosed mixing bottle (27) (see "Fuel mixing ta-
ble"). Then shake the mixing container (27) well.
Put unused fuel in a designated and approved con-
tainer and store it in a dark, cool room.
Fuel mixing table
Mixing procedure:40 parts petrol to 1 part oil
Example:
0.5 litres
Preparing the fuel-oil mixture
• Fill about half of the required amount of petrol into
the enclosed mixing container (27).
• Add the 2-stroke oil in accordance with the fuel
mixture table.
• Pour in the remaining quantity of petrol.
• Close the container and shake the fuel-oil mixture
thoroughly.
Note
Do not use a fuel-oil mixture that has been stored for
more than 90 days.
Fuel-oil mixtures that have not been used for one
month or longer can clog the carburettor or impair
engine operation.
Keep fuel and fuel/oil mixture containers separate to
avoid misfuelling with regular fuel.
