FUELS & OILS
Fuel is extremely flammable. Handle it with care. Keep
away from ignition sources. Do not smoke while fueling
your equipment.
! WARNING

Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Replace fuel cap securely. Take care when
handling gasoline. Avoid direct contact with the skin and avoid
inhaling fuel vapor.
! WARNING
DANGER!
! WARNING
Before unscrewing fuel tank cap to fuel the engine, clean the tank’s
cap and area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.
Always allow engine to cool
before refueling. Accidental spillage
of gasoline over a hot engine could cause fire or explosion
to occur.
FUEL MIX – 2 STROKE ENGINES FUEL – 4 STROKE ENGINES
•
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline.
Note: DO NOT use 2 stroke fuel (oil/gasoline mixture).
•
Use clean engine manufacturer’s recommended oil (see
seperate booklet supplied with 4 stroke engine supplied)
or SAE 10-30W synthetic oil. Fill crankcase to correct level.
WARNING Using non-synthetic oil or 2 stroke oil will shorten
engine life.
•
ALWAYS check your oil every second or third fuel fill.
Regular check of oil levels is essential. Change oil after first
hour then every 6 hours. Lack of oil and infrequent change
of oil will destroy engine.
FIG 9
IMPORTANT
USE AN OIL AND GASOLINE MIXTURE.
Only use 50:1 specialised 2-stroke oils from lawn and garden
equipment shops. Do not use outboard engine oil.
REMEMBER...
•
Always mix two-cycle oil with gasoline before fuelling your
engine. Never, ever run your 2-stroke engine on gasoline
alone. This will ruin your engine and void all warranties.
•
Always use a clean gas can and always use non Ethanol
based fuels.
•
Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the engine fuel tank.
•
Always mix oil and gas in the proper proportions: 80ml of
50:1 two-cycle engine oil to 4 litres of unleaded gasoline.
•
Two-cycle fuel separates and ages. Do not mix more
than you will use in a month. Using old fuel can cause
difficult starting or engine damage. Shake fuel container to
thoroughly mix fuel before each use. Do not attempt to run
your engine on gasoline only, this will cause engine failure
and void engine warranty.
! WARNING
Fill or add fuel to the tank only when
the edger is in a horizontal position as
shown (Fig. 10). Allow engine to cool down for at least 5 minutes
before adding fuel. Use fuel funnel (not supplied) to prevent spills.

FIG 10
! NOTE
Ethanol based fuels (E10) are not recommended
as Ethanol can absorb water if left in fuel tanks
for long periods, causing hard starting and blockages.
Always filter fuel
when refuelling.
