RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO

PETROL 40 : OIL 1

Exhaust emission are controlled by the funda-

mental engine parameters and components (eq.,

carburation, ignition timing and port timing) with-

out addition of any major hardware or the intro-

duction of an inert material during combustion.

These engines are cer

tified

 to operate on 

unleaded

petrol.

HOW TO MIX FUEL

•   Pay attention to agitation.

FUELING THE UNIT

1. Untwist 

and

 remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a

dustless place.

2.

Put

 fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacit

y

.

3. Fasten the fuel cap secur

ely

 

and

 wipe up 

any

 fuel

spillage ar

ound the unit.

1.

Select clear flat g

r

ound for fueling.

2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) 

away

 from the fuel-

ing point before starting the engine.

3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time,

be sure to suf

ficiently

 agitate the 

mixed

 gasoline in

the container.

mixed oil.

Petrol is very flammable.  Avoid smoking or 

bringing any flame or sparks near fuel.  Make 

sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before 

refueling the unit.  Use outdoor grounds for refu-

eling and move at least 3m (10 ft) away from the 

fueling point before starting the engine.

The engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated 

for  air-cooled  2-stroke  petrol  engine  use.    If  Kiam  

2-stroke oil is not available, use a red semi-synthetic 

2-stroke oil.

If  you  use  petrol  of  a  lower  octane  value  than 

described there is danger that the engine tempera

-

ture may rise which may cause an engine pistone to 

seize.

Unleaded  petrol  is  recommended  to  reduce  the 

contamination of the air for the sake of your health 

and the environment.

Poor quality petrol or oils may damage sealing rings, 

fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.

Measure out the quantities of petrol and oil to be 

mixed.

Put some of the petrol into a clean, approved fuel 

container.

Pour in all of the oil and mix thoroughly.

Pour  in  the  rest  of  the  petrol  and  mix  thoroughly 

again.  As some oils may be more difficult to mix 

depending on the oil ingredients, sufficient mixing 

is necessary to help improve the engines life.  Be 

careful that if mixing is insufficient there is increased 

danger of early piston seizing due to lack of lubrica

-

tion.

Indicate the contents inside the container by placing 

a clear indication on the outside of the container for 

easy identification and to avoid mixing up with petrol 

or any other containers.

FUEL  WITH  NO  OIL  (PURE  PETROL)  -  It  WILL 

cause severe damage to the internal engine parts 

immediately.

GASOHOL - It can cause deterioration of rubber 

and/or plastic parts and disrupt engine lubrication.

OIL FOR 4-STROKE ENGINES - It can cause spark 

plug fouling, exhaust blockages or piston ring 

sticking.

Mixed  fuels  which  have  been  left  unused  for  a 

period of one month or more may clog the carbure

-

tor and result in the engine failing to operate prop

-

erly.

In the case of storing the product for a long period of 

time, clean the fuel tank after completely emptying 

it.  Start the engine to empty the carburetor of any 

remaining fuel.

In the case of disposing of used mixing containers, 

only scrap it at authorized sites.

As for details of quality assurance, read the descrip

-

tion section Limited Warranty carefully.  Normal wear 

and  change  in  product  with  no  fuctional  influence 

are not covered by the warranty.  Also, be careful 

that if the usage in the instruction manual is not 

followed (mixed petrol, etc.) as described, it may not 

be covered by the warranty.
