Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil
directly in the Trimmer 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 Trimmer.
3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container
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 momentarily
to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before
filling the fuel tank on the Trimmer.
6. When refilling the Trimmer 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.

Cold Starting Procedure

system. To start a "cold" engine properly, perform the
following procedure:
1. Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the carbu-
retor until fuel can be seen flowing through the
fuel return line to the fuel tank. (Flowing fuel should be
almost clear, not foamy or full of bubbles.)
2. Move the choke lever to the closed (
and move the stop switch to the "ON" position.
3. Lock the throttle trigger in the fast-idle start
position, then pull the starter grip.
