Fuel Mixture
The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or
50:1.
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 Hedge 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 Hedge 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 Hedge
trimmer.
6. When refilling the Hedge 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 f uel container
momentarily before filling the fuel tank.

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.)
