FUELS/REFUELLING
Fuel and oil mixture
Inspect the fuel tank and fill with clean, fresh fuel of the proper mixture to assure the longer life of the tool. Use the following mixed gas.
Gasoline : DOLMAR genuine two-stroke engine oil = 50 : 1 or
Gasoline : Other manufacturer's two-stroke engine oil = 25 : 1 recommended
FOR CALIFORNIA REGULATION :
THIS EQUIPMENT IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON GASOLINE + TWO-STROKE ENGINE OIL
WHEN MIXING GASOLINE WITH TWO-STROKE ENGINE OIL, USE ONLY GASOLINE WHICH CONTAINS NO ETHANOL OR METHANOL
(TYPES OF ALCOHOL). THIS WILL HELP TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO ENGINE FUEL LINES AND OTHER ENGINE PARTS.
DO NOT MIX GASOLINE AND OIL DIRECTLY IN THE FUEL TANK.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to follow proper fuel mix instructions may cause damage to the engine.
– The engine of the hedge Trimmer is a high-efficiency two-stroke
engine.
It is run with a mixture of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The
engine is designed for unleaded regular fuel with a min. -octane
value of 91 ROZ.
In case no such fuel is available, you can use fuel with a higher
octane value. This will not damage the engine, but may cause
poor operating behavior.
A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel.
To obtain optimum engine operation and to protect your health
and the environment, only unleaded fuel should be used!
– For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality
grade:TC-3), which is added to the fuel.
The engine has been designed for use with DOLMAR two-stroke
engine oil and a mixture ratio of 50:1 only to protect the
environment.
In addition, a long service life and a reliable
operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases is
guaranteed. It is absolutely essential to observe a mixture ratio
of 50:1 (DOLMAR 2-stroke engine oil), otherwise the reliable
function of the Hedge Trimmer cannot be guaranteed.
– The correct mixture ratio:
Mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part DOLMAR 2-stroke engine oil
(See table on the right)
NOTE:
For preparing the fuel-oil mixture, first mix the entire oil
quantity with half of the fuel required. In an approved can
which meets of exceeds all local code standards, then add
the remaining fuel.
Thoroughly shake the mixture before filling it into the
Hedge Trimmer's tank.
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to
ensure safe operation.
production of combustion residues which will pollute the
environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder
as well as the muffler. In addition, the fuel consumption
will rise and the performance will decrease.
Handling petroleum products

substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated
area or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of
fuel or oil with your skin.
Mineral oil, fuel, etc., product degrease your skin. If skin comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly or for an extended period
of time, various skin diseases may result.
