FUEL & OIL MIXTURE
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 2 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with the engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 3 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
Use good quality unleaded fuel which contains NO ETHANOL or METHANOL. Use Branded 89 octane or higher
unleaded fuel, known to be of good quality.
Fuel which is o
lder than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essenal carburetor components. This could result in starng issues which would not be covered by your
manufacturer’s warranty.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use Handy Parts – Sure Start Garden Machinery Fuel Addive which is
available in 250ml boles, for 25 litres of fuel.

It is recommended that you use a Fuel Mixing Bole, to ensure the correct fuel mixture is used with your
machine. We recommend Handy Parts item HP-120. The fuel mixture should be shaken prior to entering the
m
achine fuel tank.
Mix only the quanty you require to complete your specific task.
FUEL MIXTURE RATIO - 40:1 (UNLEADED PETROL 40:1 2-STROKE MINERAL OIL)
IF USING SYNTHETIC OR SEMI SYNTHETIC OIL, CONSULT THE OIL MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS
40:1 FUEL MIXTURE RATIO
Unscrew the machine fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank with your fuel mixture to a maximum of 80%
capacity. This will allow for fuel tank expansion.
Fasten the fuel cap ghtly, being careful not to cross-thread. This will also prevent loosening through vibraon
during use.
Wipe away any spillage, with an appropriate material.
If the machine has connued leaks, the product should not be started. Never use the machine with damaged
ignion cable or spark plug cap, as there is a risk of sparks.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that any stored petrol/oil mixture is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum
of 4-6 weeks.
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the mixture from the fuel tank, start the engine
and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel. (See Maintenance for further instrucon)
Dispose of any unwanted 2-stroke mixture at an authorised recycling point.
