6. OIL AND FUEL FILLING
WARNING!
Engine delivered without oil or fuel: Fill up with petrol and oil before starting the engine.
1) FUEL
Recommended fuel: unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 87.
Open the fuel tank cap. Pour the fuel carefully into the tank without overflowing. Never exceed the
maximum level. Then close the tank with its cap.
Wipe off any fuel that may have spilled.
WARNING
! Petrol is extremely flammable.
Store fuel in cans specifically designed for this.
Fill the fuel tank only outdoors and before starting the engine. Do not smoke when filling the fuel
tank or handling fuel.
Never open the fuel tank cap and never add fuel when the engine is running or when it is hot.
If fuel has spilled, do not start the engine, move the tool away from where the fuel was spilled, and
take care not to create a spark or flame until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
Close all fuel tank and canister caps completely.
Before tilting the mower to service the blade or drain the oil, empty the fuel tank.
WARNING
: Never fill the fuel tank indoors when the engine is running or before the engine has
been able to cool for at least 15 minutes after use.
CAUTION
: Do not use unapproved petrol, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil with petrol or
modify the engine to run on alternative fuels. Using unapproved fuels will damage engine parts and
void the engine warranty.
To protect the fuel system from scale build-up, add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
2) OIL
Recommended oil: SAE 15W-40 4-stroke oil, 0.5L.
Open the oil tank cap. Pour the oil into the tank to the limit. Never exceed the tank limit. Then close
the tank with the cap.
Wipe off any overflow.
OIL LEVEL CHECK
- Check the oil level after the engine has stopped.
- Remove the plug / dipstick from the oil tank and wipe it off.
- Insert the oil tank cap / dipstick into the tank neck without screwing it back, then remove it to check
the oil level.
- If the oil level is close to or below the lower limit of the dipstick, remove the cap / dipstick and fill
the recommended oil tank to the upper limit of the dipstick (lower edge of the neck). Do not overfill.
- Replace the oil tank cap / dipstick
