This engine is to be operated on a 25:1
mixture consisting of unleaded
gasoline and 2-cycle mixing oil only.
Some gasolines contain alcohol as an
oxygenatel Oxygenated fuels may
cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain conditions
alcohol-based fuels may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some mixing
oils. Never use any fuel containing
more than 10% alcohol by volume!
When an oxygenated fuel must be
used, fuel containing an oxygenate
such as MTBE is to preferred over an
alcohol based fuel.
Generic oils and some outboard motor
oils may not be intended for use in
high-performance air cooled 2-cycle
engines, and should never be used in a
this engine!
Always minimize the risk of fire when
handling fuel!
Always allow the pruner to cool
before refueling!
Wipe all spilled fuel and move the
pruner at lease 3 meters (10 feet)
from the fueling point before
restarting!
Never smoke or light any fires near
the pruner or fuels!
Never place any flammable material
near the engine muffler!
Never operate the engine without
the muffler and spark arrestor in
place and properly functioning!
Never operate this machine if fuel
system components are damaged
or are leaking.
Use only fresh, clean unleaded galoline
with an octane rating of 87 or above.
Mix all fuel with 2-cycle Engine Oil at a
gasoline/oil ratio of 25:1.
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate
needs! If fuel must be stored longer than
30days, it should first be treated with a
TM
stabilizer such as StaBil
1.Place the pruner on a flat, level surface.
2.Clear any dirt or other debris from

3.Remove the fuel cap, and fill the fuel
tank with clean, fresh fuel mixture.
4.Install and firmly tighten the fuel cap.
5.Wipe up any spilled fuel from the
