OPERATION  
OPERATING POSITION  
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE  
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel  
information in the safety rules before you  
begin. If you do not understand the safety  
rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact  
an authorized service dealer.

FUELING ENGINE  
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly  
when refueling.  
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded  
petrol. Before operation, petrol must be mixed  
with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.  
We recommend Partner brand oil mixed at a  
ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by  
mixing 5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter  
of oil. When mixing fuel, follow the instructions  
printed on the container. Always read and follow  
the safety rules before fueling your unit.  
IMPORTANT  
Experience indicates that alcohol blended  
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or  
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to  
separation and formation of acids during stor-  
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system  
of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine  
problems, empty the fuel system before stor-  
age for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,  
start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines  
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.

ING POSITION).  
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss  
associated with sound level(s), hearing  
protection is required.  
S To reduce the risk of injury associated with  
contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be-  
fore installing or removing attachments. Do  
not operate without guard(s) in place.  
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable  
hours--not early in the morning or late at night  
when people might be disturbed. Comply with

Note 1: Noise emissions in the environment measured as sound power (L ) in conformity  
WA  
with EC directive 2000/14/EC. Reported sound power level for the machine has been mea-  
sured with the original cutting attachment that gives the highest level. The difference between  
guaranteed and measured sound power is that the guaranteed sound power also includes  
dispersion in the measurement result and the variations between different machines of the  
same model according to Directive 2000/14/EC.  
Note 2: Reported data for equivalent sound pressure level for the machine has a typical  
statistical dispersion (standard deviation) of 1 dB(A).  
Note 3: Reported data for equivalent vibration level has a typical statistical dispersion (stan-  
2
dard deviation) of 1 m/s .
