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 engines and can
cause engine damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives 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 Hedge trimmer is of a two-stroke design. The internal
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.

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
・
In certain conditions petrol is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
・
A fire or explosion from petrol can burn you, others and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
・
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any petrol that spills.
・
Do not fill the fuel tank completely. Add petrol to the fuel tank until the level is 10mm below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows petrol to expand.
・
Never smoke when handling petrol, and stay away from an open flame with petrol in an ap
-
proved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
・
Do not mix fuel for more than two month use.
