A
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Gasoline contains gasses that can build
up pressure inside a gas tank.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Fuel can be sprayed on you when
removing gas cap.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray.
4.
Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any possible overpressure inside the tank.
5. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4-1/2
inch (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank.
6.
Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully but firmly after
refilling.
7. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the
engine.
8. Move the Trimmer at least 10 feet (3 m) away
from the fueling location and fuel storage contain
er before starting the engine.
Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-cycle engine oil formulated for use in
high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines.
Maruyama brand 2-cycle oil is formulated for use in
high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not nse National Marine
Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA
certified oils. This type of 2-cycle engine oil
does not have the proper additives for air
cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine
damage.
Do not use antomotive motor oil. This type of
oil does not have the proper additives for air
cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine
damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including
oxygenat
ed
or
reformulated
gasoline, with an octane rating of 85
or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only the quan
tity of gasoline that can be used in 30 days. Use of
lead-free gasoline results in fewer combustion chamber
deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium
grade fuel is not necessary or recommended.
Use of Fuel Additives
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ETHANOL,PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR
WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYS
TEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER
THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR
FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE
SUCH AS MARUYAMA'S STABILIZER/
CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT.
MARUYAMA'S STABILIZER/CONDITION
ER IS A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED
CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.
MARUYAMA DOES NOT RECOMMEND
STABILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE
SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISO
PROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE
USED
TO
TRY TO ENHANCE THE
POWER
OR PERFORMANCE OF
MACIDNE.
Mixing Gasoline And Oil
IMPORTANT:
The engine used on this
Trimmer is of a 2-cycle 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 gasoline for lubrication.
