FUEL; MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL
IMPORTANT The engine used on this Hedge Trimmer is a two-stroke design. The internal
moving parts of the engine; i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to 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 and will
void your warranty. For your fuel premix, use MARUYAMA Premium Two-Stroke Oil Mix, or
equivalent ISO-L-EGD & JASO FC oil with a minimum 89 octane high quality gasoline. MARUYAMA
two-stroke oil is specially formulated to meet the requirements of high-performance, low-emission
air-cooled two-stroke engines. Use of other oils may lead to service issues which may not be
covered by your warranty.
FUEL MIXTURE: When using genuine MARUYAMA 50:1 Two-Stroke Oil or a quality oil designed
for two stroke air-cooled engines, oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.
CAUTION! If MARUYAMA oil is not used, than never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1 regardless
of the oil package mixing instructions. Ratios less than 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1),
reduce the amount of lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause
damage.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline.
Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Hedge Trimmer. Use regular unleaded gasoline
and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline. Pour the correct amount of oil
into the container, then add the remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container tightly and
shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Hedge
Trimmer.

When refilling the Hedge Trimmer fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and
debris for entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container
momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 1/4-
1/2 inch (6mm-13mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
