FUEL: 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. For your fuel premix, only use a quality oil designed for two-stroke air-
cooled engine.
FUEL MIXTURE CHART
Refer to the chart above.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for petrol. Mark the container to identify it as
fuel mix for the Hedge Trimmer. Use regular unleaded petrol and fill the container with half the
required amount of petrol. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining
amount of petrol. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the
petrol before filling the fuel tank on the Hedge Trimmer.
When refilling the Hedge Trimmer fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and
debris for entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container
momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within
10 ~ 20 mm from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
NOTE:
1.
Never mix petrol and oil directly in the Hedge Trimmer fuel tank.
2.
Do not use National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This
type of two-stroke engine oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, two-stroke
engines and can cause engine damages.
3.
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.
