Note:
Never use a mixing ratio less than
50:1 regardless of the oil package
mixing instructions. Ratios less than
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
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
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 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 f uel container
momentarily 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 in. (6mm-13
mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the
top of the tank filler neck.

Cold Starting Procedure
This engine is equipped with a fuel primer and a choke
system. To start a "cold" engine properly, perform the
following procedure:
1.
Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the
carburetor 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.)
