2-cycle outboard oil. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in a 30 day period.

Using the markings under the label 40:1 on the bottle pour the fuel in the left hand side (‘A’) up to
the required level eg 5 or 10 then fill the right hand side (‘B’) up to the same corresponding mark
with oil. Shake vigorously to mix the two products prior to pouring into the tank of hedge trimmer.
