Preparing to Operate the Hedge Trimmer

Step 1 - Filling with Engine Fuel

WARNING! 

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or 

hot engine. Move at least 30ft.(9 m)  from refueling site before starting engine. Do not smoke!

IMPORTANT!

It is crucial that the fuel is mixed correctly - wrongly mixed fuel can cease the 

engine and voids the warranty. Carefully read these instructions, use the supplied bottle for 

mixing. When filling the mixing bottle, use a funnel while keeping the bottle flat to ensure a good 

reading.

This product is powered by a 2-Stroke engine and requires pre-mixing of petrol and 2-stroke oil.

Mix a high quality 2-Stroke engine oil according JASO FC classic. Do not use automotive oil or

2-cycle outboard oil. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in a 30 day period. 

1a. FUEL MIXTURE: 1 Litre (1000 ml) petrol and 25cc (25 ml) 2 Stroke engine oil (40:1 ratio)

Using the markings under the label 40:1 on the bottle pour the fuel in the left hand side (‘A’) up to

the required level eg 2.5 or 5 then fill the right hand side (‘B’) up to the same corresponding mark

with oil. Please ensure that no fuel has leaked into B prior to pouring in oil. Shake vigorously to 

mix the two products prior to pouring into the tank of hedge trimmer.

NOTE! 

Use 5 for 500ml fuel mixture and 2,5 for 250ml fuel mixture.

1b. FILLING TANK

Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on

a clean surface. Carefully pour fuel into the tank using a funnel to avoid spillage. Prior to 

replacing the fuel cap,

clean and inspect the seal located in the fuel cap. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. 

Wipe up any fuel spillage.

NOTE!

 It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after first use.
