OPERATION
trimmer until the leakage is repaired.
■ Move at least 10 ft (3 m) from refueling location before starting the engine.
FUEL MIXTURE (See Fig. 21)
This trimmer is powered by a 2-cycle engine; the operator is required to use premixed gasoline and
2-cycle lubricant. Prepare a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a clean
container approved for storing gasoline. Only prepare quantities that can be used up within a few days.
DO NOT prepare quantities that will need to be stored for more than 30 days.
Recommended Fuel
This engine is certied to operate on unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use.
U.S. EPA regulations make it illegal to use gasoline containing higher than 10% ethanol content
in outdoor power equipment like your LawnMaster
®
power equipment and doing so can void your
LawnMaster
®
Limited Warranty.
If the proper precautions are taken, however, gasoline containing a 10% quantity of ethanol can safely
be used in your LawnMaster
®
products.
Much of the gasoline sold throughout the United States contains ethanol. The maximum ethanol
content allowed by law for use in outdoor power equipment is limited to 10% (E10). Most small power
equipment engines are designed to use no more than a 10% ethanol gasoline blend.
If you are not sure of the ethanol content in the gasoline you are purchasing, ask the retailer. If they are
unsure, purchase your fuel from another retailer that offers gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol.
NOTE: We recommend you use a high-quality synthetic 2-cycle lubricant in this product.
Recommended specication: JASO-FC or above. Mix at 40:1 ratio or 3.2 oz. per gallon (US).
Do not use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard lubricant.
Mixing Tips
■ Always start by lling an approved fuel container with half
of the required amount of gasoline.
■ Then add the entire amount of 2-cycle lubricant. Close the
container and shake to mix the lubricant with the gasoline.
■ Add the remaining amount of gasoline, close the fuel
container, and shake again.
■ Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before lling the fuel tank (Fig. 21).
