Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-cycle engine oil formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not use two-cycle oil intended for water cooled outboard motors. This type of two
-cycle engine oil does not have the additives for air-cooled two-cycle engines and can cause engine
damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled
two-cycle engines and can cause engine damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 85 or higher. Use of unleaded gasoline results in fewer com-
bustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or recommended.
IMPORTANT: Never use gasohol or alcohol blended fuels in this engine.

Mixing Gasoline and Oil

IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Brushcutter/ Grass Trimmer is of a two-cycle design. The
internal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to
cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for lubrication. Failure to add oil to
the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine
damage which will void your warranty.
Fuel Mixture
The fuel: oil ratio is 25 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 25:1.

Mixing Instructions

IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the Brushcutter/ Grass Trimmer fuel tank.
1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline.
2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Brushcutter/ Grass Trimmer.
3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline.
4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline.
5. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling
the tank on the Brushcutter/ Grass Trimmer.
6. When refilling the Brushcutter/ Grass Trimmer fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to stop dirt and
debris from entering the tank during cap removal.
7. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage.
9. Fill the tank only to within 10mm from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
