Fuel Mixture
The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or
50:1.
Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1
regardless of the oil package mixing
instructions. Ratios less than 50:1, (for
example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce the
amount of lubrication to the internal moving
parts of the engine and can cause damage.

Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil
directly in the Trimmer fuel tank.
1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container
approved for gasoline.
2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for
the Trimmer.
3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the
container with half the required amount of
gasoline.
4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container
then add the remaining amount of gasoline.
5. Close the container tightly and shake it
momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the
gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the
Trimmer.
6 When refilling the Trimmer fuel tank, clean
around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris
from entering the tank during cap removal.
7 Always shake the premix fuel container momen-
tarily before filling the fuel tank.
8 Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to
reduce fuel spillage.
9 Fill the tank only to within 1/4-1/2 inch (6 mm-13
mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the
top of the tank filler neck.
Starting And Stopping
Before Starting The Engine
1. Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the Before
Operation section of this manual (page US-10).
2. Rest the Trimmer on the ground.
3. Make sure the cutting attachment is clear of any
broken glass, nails, wire, rocks or other debris.
4. Keep all bystanders, children and animals away
from the working area.
Cold Starting Procedure
This Trimmer is equipped with a fuel primer and a
choke system. To start a “cold” engine properly,
perform the following procedure:
1. Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the carbu-
retor until fuel can be seen flowing through the
fuel return line to the fuel tank. (Flowing fuel
should be almost clear, not foamy or full of
bubbles.)
2. Move the choke lever to the closed (
) position
and move the stop switch to the “ON” position.
