FUELIREFUELING
Gasoline/oil mixture
-The engine of the pole hedge trimmer
i s
a highly efficient two-stroke engine that
runs on
a
mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. The engine i s designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with
a
min. Octane value of 91 ROZ.
If
such
gasoline
i s
not obtainable, instead use gasoline with the highest octane value
available. This will not cause any damage to the engine, but may result in poor
engine performance. Similar results are to be expected when leaded gasoline is
used.
To
obtain optimal engine performance, and for the sake of human health
and the environment, where possible use unleaded fuel.
-
Two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: TSC-3) must be added to the gasoline in
order to lubricate
the
engine. The engine has been designed to use environment-
friendly MAKITA 2-stroke oil, which i s to be mixed at
a
ratio of
501. This
specially developed
oil
ensures prolonged engine service
life
and reliable engine
performance with an absolute minimum
of
exhaust gas emissions. It
is
imperative
to strictly observe the
50:l
mixture (Gasoline/MAKITA 2-stroke oil), as reliable
performance of the pole hedge trimmer cannot be guaranteed otherwise.
Mix 50
parts gasoline with
1
part MAKITA 2-stroke engine
oil
(see
also
table on
the right).
-
Correct gasoline/oil mixture:
NOTE
When preparing the gasoline/oil mixture, first mix all of the amount
of oil
required with
half
the amount of gasoline required.
Add
the remaining
gasoline and shake the mixture well before replenishing the tank.
Do not add more oil then prescribed.
If
too much
oil
i s added this will
produce additional combustion residue, thus polluting the environment and
clogging the muffler and the cylinder exhaust channel. In addition, overall
fuel consumption will also increase and poorer engine performance is to
be expected.
Handling of petroleum products
Always handle fuel with the utmost care and attention. Since
fuel
contains
substances similar to solvents, refueling must
be
done outdoors or in well-
ventilated areas.
Do
not inhale gasoline fumes and avoid any skin contact with
gasoline or
oil.
Human skin will dry out
if
in contact with petroleum over an
extended period
of
time. This may result in various skin diseases and allergic
reactions.
Gasoline or oil coming into contact with the eyes can cause severe eye irritation.
Should gasoline or oil come into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse your
eyes with large amounts of clean water. Do not hesitate to see a doctor
if
irritation
persists.
Refueling
-Turn
off
the engine.
-
Unscrew tank cap and pour the
fuel
mixture into the tank. Use a piece
of
clean
-
Replace and hand-tighten the
fuel
tank cap.
-
Always wipe off the fuel tank cap to protect the
fuel
tank from contamination.
-
Reconfirm whether the
fuel
tank cap is securely tightened.
-Always wipe off spilled fuel immediately to reduce the
risk
of fire.
gauze to filter the fuel.
Fuel
storage
-
Fuel deteriorates
if
stored over an extended period
of
time.
-
Purchase only the amount
of
fuel to
be
used over a 4-week period.
-
Use only approved petroleum-storage containers.
