Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-stroke engine oil formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two-stroke engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled outboard motors. This type of
two-stroke engine oil does not have the additives for air-cooled two-stroke en-
gines and can cause engine damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper addi-
tives for air-cooled two-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 85 or higher. Use of unleaded petrol results in fewer
combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or
recommended.
IMPORTANT: Never use gasohol or alcohol blended fuels in this engine.
Mixing Petrol and Oil
IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Trimmer/ Brushcutter is of a two-stroke design. The inter-
nal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and
piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the petrol for
lubrication.
Failure to add oil to the petrol or failure to mix oil with the petrol at the appropriate
ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your warranty.

Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix petrol and oil directly in the Trimmer/ Brushcutter fuel tank.
1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for petrol.
2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Trimmer/ Brushcutter.
3. Use regular unleaded petrol and ll the container with half the required amount of petrol.
4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of petrol.
5. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the petrol before lling the
tank on the Trimmer/ Brushcutter.
6. When relling the Trimmer/ Brushcutter fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to stop dirt and debris
from entering the tank during cap removal.
7. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before lling the fuel tank.
8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage.
9. Fill the tank only to within 10mm from the top of the tank. Avoid lling to the top of the tank ller neck.
