MIXING THE FUEL

See figure 3.

 

This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and 

requires premixing petrol and 2-stroke oil. Pre-mix 

unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine oil in a clean 

container approved for petrol.

 

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol 

intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 

91 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.

 

Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/oil from fuel 

service stations, this includes the pre-mixed petrol/oil 

intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.

 

Use synthetic 2-stroke oil only. Do not use automotive 

oil or 2-stroke outboard oil.

 

Mix 2% synthetic 2-stroke oil into the petrol. This is a 

50:1 ratio.

 

Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before 

fueling.

 

Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger 

than usable in a 30 day period. A synthetic 2-stroke oil 

containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended.

FILLING THE TANK

 

Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent 

contamination.

 

Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to 

keep fuel from escaping around the cap.

 

Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. 

 

Avoid spillage. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, 

 

clean and inspect the gasket.

 

Immediately replace the fuel cap and hand tighten. 

Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from 

refueling site before starting engine.

NOTE: 

It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new 

engine during first use.

 WARNING

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to 

a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 

9 m from refueling site before starting engine. Do not 

smoke!
