– Never remove the cap by turning it
directly to the open position. Turn it
first approximately 1/8 of a turn
counter-clockwise to the vent
position to relieve any residual
pressure.
– Never open the fuel tank while the
engine is still hot or running.
– Never open the fuel tank or re-fuel
the power tool near any sparks,
flames or other ignition sources.
– Pick the right fuel: use only good
quality (89 octane or higher), fresh
fuel blended for the season.
– Vapor lock: do not remove the fuel
cap in an effort to relieve vapor lock.
Removing the cap has no effect on
vapor lock.
– Be aware that fuel spraying is more
likely at higher altitudes.
Preparations
N Before fueling, clean the filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.
N Always thoroughly shake the
mixture in the canister before
fueling your machine.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury from escaping gas vapor
and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap
carefully so as to allow any pressure
build-up in the tank to release slowly.
Opening
WARNING
After allowing the power tool to cool,
remove the fuel filler cap slowly and
carefully to allow any remaining
pressure build-up in the tank to release:
N Flip up the grip and press the cap
down firmly (1).
N While maintaining steady,
downward pressure, turn the cap
slowly counter-clockwise to the vent
position (2), approximately a
1/8 turn of the cap.
N If any significant venting occurs,
immediately re-seal the tank by
turning the cap clockwise to the
closed position. Allow the power
tool to cool further before attempting
to open the tank.
