Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil
directly in the Edger 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 Edger.
3.
Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the contain-
er 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 momentar-
ily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before
filling the fuel tank on the Edger.
6.
When refilling the Edger 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 momen-
tarily 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 inch (6 mm-13
mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the
top of the tank filler neck.
