571823 - MX26HB Line Trimmer Owner’s Manual - April ‘14

FUEL HANDLING WARNING 

1.  For Honda 4 stroke engines: 

Fuel and oil are not to be mixed, they fill separate tanks. Use 
unleaded gasoline for fuel and automotive 4 cycle oil for the oil 
tank. Do not store cans of fuel or refill the fuel tank in any place 
where there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical or welding 
sparks, or any other source of heat or fire which might ignite 
the fuel.

2.  Smoking while operating the line trimmer or refilling its fuel tank 

is extremely dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit cigarettes 
away from the line trimmer at all times.

3.  When refilling the tank always turn off the engine first, wait for it 

to cool, and take a careful look around to make sure that there 
is nothing nearby which might ignite spilled fuel.

4.  To avoid spilling fuel, always use a funnel when filling the fuel 

tank.

5.  If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to 

wipe up the spillage before starting the engine again.

6.  After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel 

tank and then carry the line trimmer to a spot 3m or more away 
from where it was refuelled before starting the engine.
