The chemical composition of the fuel is
also important. Some fuel additives not
only detrimentally affect elastomers
(carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel

or even damage the engine. For this
reason it is essential that you use only
branded fuels!

Check chain tension frequently -
see section "During Operation".

equivalent branded two-stroke air-
