Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to
mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio
will cause major engine damage which will void
your warranty.
For your fuel premix, use MARUYAMA
Premium two-stroke Oil Mix, or equivalent
ISO-L-EGD & JASO FD oil with a minimum
89 octane high Quality gasoline. MARUYAMA
two-stroke oil is specially formulated to meet
the requirements of high-performance, low-
emission air-cooled two-stroke engines. Use of
other oils may lead to service issues which may
Not be covered by your warranty.
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 Multi-Cutter 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 Multi - Cutter.
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 Multi-Cutter.
6. When refilling the Multi - Cutter 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
momentarily 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 in. (6 mm-13
mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the
top of the tank filler neck.
Starting And Stopping
