flames. Do not inhale fuel vapour.
■
Do not let petrol or lubricant come in contact with your

Keep petrol and lubricant away from the eyes. If petrol
or lubricant comes in contact with the eyes, wash
them immediately with clean water. If irritation is still
present, see a doctor immediately.
■
Clean up spilled petrol immediately.
Mixing the fuel
■
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and
requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-stroke lubricant.
Premix unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine lubricant
in a clean container approved for petrol.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol
intended for motor vehicle use with an octane rating of
