FUEL: MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL
CAUTION!
The engine used on this Hedge 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. Failure to add oil to the gasoline or fail
ure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which will
void your warranty. For your fuel pr emix, only use Maruyama 50:1 2-Cycle Oil or a quality oil
designed for 2-cycle air-cooled engine.
FUEL MIXTURE:
When using genuine Maruyama 50:1 2-Cycle
Oil,
or a quality oil designed for 2-
cycle air-cooled engines, oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.
CAUTION! If Maruyama oil is not used, never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1 regardless of the
oil package mixing Instructions. Ratios less the 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce
the amount of lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause damage.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline.
Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Hedge Trimmer. Use regular unleaded gasoline
and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline. Pour the correct amount of oil into
the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container tightly and shake it
momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Hedge Trimmer.

When refilling the Hedge Trimmer fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and
debris for entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container momen
tarily before filling the fuel tank.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 1/4-1/2
inch (6mm-13mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
