• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before
refuelling.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fuel container
where there is an open flame, spark or pilot
light such as a water heater or on other ap-
pliances.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle, on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling. Remove gas-pow-
ered equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground, if this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dis-
penser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all times
until fuelling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
tighten securely.
FUEL
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed
with 2-strokes engine oil.
WARNING: Use a premium grade oil for
2-strokes air-cooled engines mixed at a 20:1
ratio. Do not use any 2-strokes oil product with
any other recommended mixing ratio. If insuf-
ficient lubrication is the cause of engine dam-
age, it'll cause a void in the warranty.
WARNING: Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage and void the warranty for the prod-
uct. Never use a fuel mixture that has been
stored for over 30 days.
WARNING: Never add water since the car-
burettor and engine will corrode.
WARNING: If you use oil for 4-stroke en-
gine this will cause the spark plug to foul, the
exhaust port blocking or piston ring sticking.
Never use oil for 4-stroke motor.
MIXING FUEL
Add the oil to an approved
fuel container followed by
the gasoline to allow incom-
ing gasoline to mix with oil
in a ratio of 20:1. Shake the
container to ensure thor-
ough mix.

WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine
warranty.
NOTE: As a recommendation, use the 134001 &
134002 Surtek 2-strokes oil for the motor.
WHEN REFUELLING
IMPORTANT: Add fuel at an 80% of fuel tank
capacity.
RECOMMENDED FUEL
Some conventional gasoline is being blended
with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether
compound to meet clean air standards. Your
Hedge-Trimmer engine is designed to operate
satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for au-
tomotive use including oxygenated gasoline.
