9.2.3 Recommended fuels
Some standard petrols are enriched with oxygen-containing compounds such as alcohol or
ether to comply with regulations on clean air. The motor is designed to work well on any car
petrol, including these enriched petrols, on the condition that the above mixing ratios are
observed!
9.2.4 Filling with fuel
▪ Clean the area around the cap of the fuel tank, and remove all wood dust and dirt.
▪ Open the fuel tank by turning the cap anticlockwise.
▪ Fill with fresh 2-stroke mix, DO NOT overfill.
▪ When finished refuelling, immediately refit the cap to the fuel tank, and close by turning it
clockwise until hand tight and sealed.
Warning: Move at least 3 m from the fuelling spot, away from potential
spillage and escaped fumes, before attempting to start the engine.
9.3 Chain oil
9.3.1 Chain and bar lubrication
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using our
chain & bar oil (check our oil assortment). To ensure the bar and chain receive oil, only use
the original style bar with the oil passage hole (A) as illustrated above (Fig. 11). Always use
good quality sprocket oil, which contains additives to reduce friction and wear and to assist in
the prevention of pitch formation on the bar and chain.
9.3.2 Filling with chain oil
Warning: be careful not to spill any oil. Thoroughly clean away any spilled
chain oil, even if bio-degradable chain oil is used. Be aware of slipping
hazards!
