SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING GASOLINE ON
The two-cycle engine used on the MARUYAMA Power Edger requires a
mixture of GASOLINE and OIL for lubrication of bearings and
other moving parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio depends upon
the type of two-cycle motor oil that is used. If MARUYAMA
two-cycle oil is used,, the proper fuel mixture ratio is 50, 1,
which is· 2. 5oz. of oil mixed with one gallon of gasoline. If
other oil for two-cycle air cooled engines is used, the proper
fuel mixture ratio is 25:1, which is 5.0 oz. of oil mixed with
one gallon of gasoline.

IMPORTANT: Do not fill the fuel tank with gasoline that does not
have oil mixed in it. Do not use gasoline additives because the
engine could be damaged.
