Preparing the fuel
Fuel
 Fuel is a mixture of regular grade petrol and an air-cooled 2-
stroke engine oil of reputable brand name.
Minimum 89 Octane unleaded petrol is recommended. Do not 
use fuel containing methyl alcohol or more than 10 % of ethyl 
alcohol.
 Recommended mixture ratio; 50 : 1 (2 %) for ISO-L-EGD 
Standard (ISO/CD 13738), JASO FC, FD grade and ECHO 
Premium 50 : 1 oil.
- Do not mix directly in engine fuel tank.
- Avoid spilling petrol or oil. Spilled fuel should always be 
wiped up.
- Handle petrol with care, it is highly inflammable.
- Always store fuel in approved container.
Fuel supply
 Always refuel in a well ventilated location. Do not pour fuel in-
doors.
 Place the product and the refuelling tank on the ground when 
performing the refuelling operation. Do not refuel the product 
on the loading platform of a truck, or in other such places.
 Always ensure that the fuel level remains below the shoulder 
level of the fuel tank when refuelling.
 There is a difference in pressure between the fuel tank and the 
outside air. When refuelling, loosen the fuel tank cap slightly to 
eliminate the difference in pressure.
 Always wipe up any fuel spills.
 Move at least 3m away from where you refueled before you 
start the engine.
 Keep the refuelling tank in a shaded area away from fire.
 DANGER
Fuel is highly inflammable and there is a risk of fire if it is handled incorrectly. Carefully read 
and observe the precautions in the section of this manual titled "For safe use of your prod-
uct".
Once the refuelling is complete, securely tighten the fuel tank cap and do not forget to 
check that there are no leaks or discharges of fuel from the fuel pipe, fuel system grommets, 
or around the fuel tank cap. If you do find fuel leaks or discharges, stop using the product 
immediately and contact your dealer to have it repaired.
 If the fuel ignites, it could cause burns and fire. 
CAUTION
There is difference in pressure between the fuel tank and the outside air. When refuelling, loosen the fuel tank cap
slightly to eliminate the difference in pressure.
 Otherwise, fuel may get spewed. 
NOTE
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect use in thirty (30) days. Do not mix directly in fuel tank.
