Fueling
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and 
chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced 
at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes 
malfunction. Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking 
the container before refuelling. The capacities of the chain 
oil tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should 
therefore always fill the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the 
same time. (43)
