Practical information

Aspen is 99% cleaner than regular gasoline. Compared to cars, small combustion engines such as chainsaws, lawn mowers and mopeds emit relatively much unburned gasoline. This is because they are often simpler and have a cheaper construction. Ordinary petrol contains harmful substances such as sulphur, benzene and aromatics. Benzene is carcinogenic. Aspen alkylate benzine contains almost none of these harmful substances because it has been refined in a special way. And what does not go in, does not come out either!

You may want to use Aspen or Stihl moto mix alkylate gasoline. Both fuels are characterized by the following practical advantages:

• This fuel is many times cleaner in combustion, resulting in less harmful exhaust gases
• Higher operating temperature greatly increases the life of your garden machine
• The fuel will not get old and will not vulcanise in the carburettor, preventing starting problems
• The fuel always has the correct mixing ratio, which eliminates engine damage
• Optionally, a quick filler avoids spillage and dirt tow during refuelling
• Clear colour separation in a coloured jerrycan of two stroke and four-stroke gasoline
• Always park your garden machine with a full tank to prevent condensation, resulting in water entering the petrol tank
• Make sure you never spill gasoline when filling the fuel tank
• Make sure that the gas cap properly seals (especially for machines that are carried on the body)
• Spray before use and while using knife blades at the top and bottom of the blades. This creates a small film between the knives that go back and forth. This gives the following advantages:
• Prevention of unnecessary friction / resistance when using the hedge trimmer
  A higher blade speed, so a better trimmed hedge
• Pruning juices cannot adhere to the metal
• Knife blade becomes less blunt
• Clean brushes after use with a dry brush (never with water)
• After cleaning spray the blades while moving
• Prevents solidifying of blades when the scissors are not used
• Prevents rust formation on blade under humid conditions
• Increases the life of your hedge trimmer
• Spray by the hour

LUBRICATION GREASE
Always use the prescribed grease with the correct thickness when lubricating your garden machine. The thickness is very important for a well lubricated machine. If the machine gets hot, the lubricant loses its viscosity. Especially with hedge trimmers and brush cutters this is essential and prevents high maintenance costs on the drivertrain and brushcutter gearbox.
Lubricate the machine in time and regularly.
