4-Stroke Engine Oil
The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from the manufacturing
process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the
engine before use – see
Checking and Changing Engine Oil
Failure to add engine oil will void the
product warranty
.
Four-stroke engines require engine oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or
irreparable damage may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires
regular maintenance. Check the engine oil level and ensure that the oil level is at or just under the maximum
level indicator.
Always check the engine oil level before starting the engine. See
Checking and Changing Engine Oil
Air Filter
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal
damage to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance.
Always check the air filter before starting the engine. See
Checking, Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Fuel
Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition
sources. • The engine must be cool before refuelling.
Adequately fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel type.
•
Use non-ethanol unleaded petrol (higher RON values will provide best engine performance). Do not use
old or contaminated fuel.
To fill or top up fuel:
1. Place the machine in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
2. Clean the machine around the fuel filler so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the cap
is removed.
3. Remove (rotate left) the fuel filler cap.
4. Using a funnel, carefully fill the tank with fuel. Do not fill above the top of the strainer (if equipped) or
otherwise overfill the tank.
5. When finished, re-install (rotate right) the fuel filler cap until firm. Wipe away any residual fuel from the
machine. If fuel has been spilt, move the machine away from the spillage before starting the engine.
Priming the Fuel System
For engines equipped with a fuel primer, it may be necessary to “prime” the
fuel system before attempting to start the engine. This means removing any
air from the fuel line and filling the carburettor with fuel. To prime:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
2. Locate the fuel primer (

).
3. Press the fuel primer repeatedly until you feel that fuel is in the primer.
4. Start the engine.
Spark Plug
The spark plug may come disconnected from the spark plug lead. If this is the case, place the electrical lead
over the spark plug terminal and push it down so that it connects firmly with the terminal. See
