Mixing Instructions; Starting And Stopping; Before Starting The Engine - Maruyama B42L Manuel Du Propriétaire/Utilisateur

NOTE: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1
regardless of the oil package mixing instruc-
tions. 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 Trimmer/Brushcutter 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/Brushcutter.
3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the contain-
er 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 momen-
tarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before
filling the fuel tank on the Trimmer/Brushcutter.
6. When refilling the Trimmer/Brushcutter 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 in. (6 mm-13
mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the
top of the tank filler neck.

ing through the fuel return line to the fuel tank.
